TYSON, J.

The taking of the locket and money constituted ‍​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‍the same transaction. It was therefore competent to prove the taking of both, although only the larceny ‍​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‍of the locket was charged in the indictment. — Ray v. State, 126 Ala. 9, 28 South. 634.

That portion of the letter written ‍​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‍by the defendant, admitted in evidence, afforded an inference for the jury that it was inspired ‍​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‍by a consciousness of guilt. There was no error in the ruling of the court on this ‍​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‍point.

Affirmed.
