PIANO SALE UNAUTHORIZED.
Mrs. Theresa Augenstein of 17 Grove street,
Rochester, N. Y., was last week arrested on a
charge of grand larceny in the second degree for
obtaining under false representation, $150 from Ed-
wsrd H. Ropelt and William T. Pritchard. The ar-
rest is said to have been caused by a disagreement
between husband and wife concerning the owner-
ship of a piano. The woman sold the piano to Rob-
ert Pritchard for $150, representing it as her own,
but in an affidavit Emil A. Augenstein made a state-
ment to the effect that he was the owner of the
piano and had not authorized the woman to dispose
of it.
