Sattlekau (defendant) placed an advertisement in a New York newspaper stating: “Good woman wanted. Practical housekeeper for hotel purposes. Possibility of matrimony.” Rosa Kaiser saw and responded to the advertisement. During the course of eight or nine interviews, Sattlekau represented himself to Kaiser as a single man, who was in a condition to marry her, and that he was the owner of a hotel that was for sale. Sattlekau told Kaiser that he would need to borrow $1,000 from her to help him lease another hotel that he wanted to make the marital home for the two of them. Kaiser provided him with the money. She never saw him again until after he was arrested. Kaiser later discovered that Sattlekau was in fact married, that numerous women who had answered his advertisement, and that he had attempted to get money from those women as well.
