The defendant, while lodging at the deponent's home, introduced her to an "Indian doctor" who professed that he could "make her rich." After persuading her to withdraw her savings - $3,200 - the "doctor" performed a "religious ceremony" with the money. He then gave her an envelope that was supposed to contain a larger amount of cash, but was actually just filled with waste paper. The defendant and "doctor" then split the money between themselves.
