The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Henry H. Werblow, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, dismissed the third and fourth counts of the indictment for grand larceny by false pretenses committed abroad, and remanded for a new trial on the first and second counts. The Court held that New York statutes do not confer jurisdiction over crimes completed outside the state when only conspiratorial or preparatory acts occur within New York.
