Wolfe v Pugh Defrauded Pugh in Sullivan County Land Swindle
A 1884 Supreme Court ruling details Wolfe Osborn and Trueblood deceiving Charles E. Pugh over an Illinois land swap. Pugh, misled about land location and value, paid $500 and deeded land. Wolfe and partners concealed true ownership, prompting repayment demands and a reconveyance dispute after fraud was revealed.
