NRS 175.261 False pretenses: What evidence necessary. Upon a trial for having, with an intent to
cheat or defraud another designedly, by any false pretense, obtained the
signature of any person, to a written instrument, or having obtained from any
person any money, personal property, or valuable thing, the defendant shall not
be convicted if the false pretense shall have been expressed in language,
unaccompanied by a false token or writing, unless the pretense or some note or
memorandum thereof be in writing, subscribed by or in the handwriting of the
defendant, or unless the pretense be proved by the testimony of two witnesses,
or that of one witness and corroborating circumstances; but this section shall
not apply to a prosecution for falsely representing or personating another,
and, in such assumed character, marrying, or receiving any money or property.
