State vs. Frederick W. Entwistle
    Ind.
    No. 10077
    April 14, 1919
    For state: Attorney General.
    For defendant: Charles R. Easton.
   DECISION

DORAN, J.

The indictment avers:

1st. Defendant falsely represented that he owned a certain good, valid, outstanding mortgage and note made by Napoleon and Arthamise Aubin and worth $2800;

2nd. That by means of said false statement defendant obtained from Rayner Woodhead n exchange for said Aubin mortgage, a good, valid, outstanding note worth $2800, made by Edward and Amanda Bergeron of the goods, chatels and property of said Woodhead;

3rd. Defendant did not own said Aubin mortgage and knew he did not.

I think it is sufficiently charged that defendant got from Woodhead a note in exchange for something defendant did not own by means of falsely alleging such ownership.

Demurrer overruled.
