CLONTS, did falsely pretend to Billy Max Brown, with intent to defraud, that he was Charles N. Carney, and by means of such false pretense obtained from the said Billy Max Brown five automobile tires, of the aggregate value of Ninety Two Dollars and Forty Cents, the personal property of H. M. Bonham, against the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama.””
