BUYING RING AT THE FAIR.-In the Police
Court to-day, Joseph Guygenheimer was charged
with obtaining money under false pretenceS.
William Ii. Beall, a young white man, testified
that he met this man at the fair grounds, who
asked him II he wanted to buy good finger
ring and showed him a very large ring of
which he had quite number, and askeu So for
it. He bought one at that price, and very soon
afterwards the ring lost its polish and he thought
that he had been swindled. He thereupon had
the man arrested for obtaining money under
false pretences The prosecution, to sustain the
fact that the ring was worthless, sent out for
an expert, jeweler named William Norhoff
who appeared on the witness stand with his
tests several small walls OF acids, file &C. The
ring was given him and after an examination
he decided that the ring was worth about 81, 1t
having small quantity of gold in it. This un-
expected testimony astonished the court and
all present and considerable merrlment was in
dulged In. Defendants counsel, Mr. Browning
remarked to the court that this was better than
he expected, as he had an expert summoned to
prove that the ring was worth 81 cents in lieu
OF cents as was set forth in the information.
