DECLARES MAN SOLD HIM
STOCK AT EX0RBITANT PRICE

Carlo Erbetti was arraigned before
Judge Smith in the superior court yes
terday on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The charge is the sequel of sale of
two shares of Marconi telegraph stock
for $126 a share to Joseph Doglia, who
claims that Erbetti represented to him
that the stock was selling at that fig
ure in the market.
Since the purchase Doglia has learned
that Marconi stock is worth between
SIS and $50. so he swore to complaint
for Erbetti.
When called upon to plead Erbetti,
through his counsel, entered demur-
rer to the charge as set forth in the in
formation on the ground that Doglia
should have satisfied himself as to the
real value of the stock before having
purchased it.
The demurrer will be argued before
Judge Smith Saturday morning.
