Aldrich, J.

The information charges defendant with larceny as bailee, under which charge defendant was ‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍tried and convicted, and has been confined in either the county jail or the state penitentiary since September, 1918. The record discloses that there is a fatal ‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍variance between the complaint and the proof offered to sustain the charge. The record also shows that at no time was defendant a bailee in this transaction; ‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍that he never saw nor spoke to the owner, nor did he receive the car from the owner; that there is no evidence in the record ‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍that defendant committed the crime of larceny as bailee.

This disposes of the proceedings in habeas corpus presented in connection with this ease, No. 21146.

The judgment in Haley v. ‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‍State, No. 21218, is reversed and the action is dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
