Joyner v. State
239 Md. 707
Md.

Check Treatment
Per Curiam.

This is another frivolous appeal. Appellant’s only contention is that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction in a non-jury trial for breaking into a storehouse and stealing therefrom. The State’s proof showed that the police found the appellant and an accomplice in a lunchroom early one morning with 28 packs of chewing gum and $15.50 in nickels, taken from the establishment, as well as a screwdriver, in their pockets. Other merchandise was strewn about the place. Entrance had been gained by breaking a panel and a lock on a rear door. The trial judge was not required to believe the appellant’s story *708that he had entered the lunchroom the evening before, when it was still open for business, had remained therein all night, and had taken no part in breaking in. The evidence was ample to sustain the conviction.

Judgment affirmed.
