Comth. agst August Worms obtaining money on false representations from Autun Shneiderbahn: This day a week ago accused came to my house in this city & offered to sell me a breast pin & pair Earings & said his father sent them to him from Paris & that they cost Eight Dollars, that they are good gold & worth five Dollars to him. He said he has a sister in St. Paul & wanted to go to see her and had no money. I offered him three Dollars for the jewelry & he took it, & I paid him & took the jewelry which is the same in Court. I soon found, that I had been cheated. From representations of accused that the articles were made of good gold & his wish to see his sister, I was induced to buy.
Geo. Wolfe, I am a jeweller. The two breastpins & two pair Earings in Court are brass and are worth about 50c a set — there is no gold about them. If either set were pure gold, they would be worth $25 or $30. —
The above is a correct copy of the testimony
