— Defendant was convicted of the crime of grаnd larceny, and sentenced to a term in the penitentiary. He appeals from that judgment, and argues that the evidence was insufficient to make out a case for the jury; that the value of the goods taken is not shown to amount to $25; and thаt the court erred in its instruction to the jury upon the question of the possession of wrongfully stolen property.
The information charges that the defеndant and one Jeff Connelly, on the 12th day of January, 1911, unlawfully and feloniously took, stole, and carriеd away certain furs, of the value of $100, the prоperty of the H. F. Norton Company. Mr. Norton, when оn the stand as a witness for the state, testified that the furs disappeared from his business some time betwеen December 20, 1910, and January 13, 1911; that the value оf the furs taken was about $100. It is argued by the appellant that there was no evidence that the furs were stolen, and therefore that the corpus delicti was not proven. It is true that Mr. Norton did not use the word “stolen” in speaking of the goods, but when he said the goods “disappeared” and were “taken,” hе meant, of course, that the goods were stоlen. No other reasonable interpretаtion can be placed upon his language..
Appellant also argues that the evidenсe shows that the goods found in a room occupied by the appellant and another mаn, and identified as.the goods of the Norton Comрany, were of the value of only $12, and therefоre not of sufficient value to warrant a cоnviction of grand larceny, which, under
Appellant also argues that the court erred in instructing the jury upon the question оf the possession of recently stolen prоperty. There is no merit in this assignment, but if there were, no exceptions were taken to any of the instructions. In such cases, the instructions will not be reviewed upon appeal. State v. Williams,
Judgment affirmed.
Dunbar, C. J., Parker, Fullerton, and Gose, JJ., concur.
