VAN der VOORT, Judge
(concurring and dissenting).
I concur in the reversal of the judgment of sentence for the charge of fraudulent conversion, but I respectfully dissent as to the reversal of the judgment of sentence for cheating by false pretenses. I believe that the circumstances proved by the Commonwealth’s evidence were ample to warrant a finding that the pretenses of appellant were false, that they sustain the conviction for the offense of cheating by false pretenses and that we should not permit a business man to bilk one of our citizens of $900.00 and let him off scot free.
I would affirm the judgment of sentence upon the charge of cheating by false pretenses.
