Sublett v. State

CHAPPELL, J.

Tbe plaintiff in error, hereinafter called defendant, was convicted in tbe district court of Greer county of tbe crime of grand larceny, and bis punishment fixed at confinement in tbe penitentiary for a term of one year.

The evidence of tbe state was that tbe defendant and one L. A. Duffer, who was jointly charged with him, stole two bales of cotton from tbe Willow Gin Company and A. K. Key, tbe manager, and sold them to tbe compress at Mangum. Tbe defendant did not take tbe witness stand and offered no evidence in bis behalf.

Defendant contends that tbe trial court erred in overruling bis demurrer to tbe evidence of tbe state, for tbe reason that tbe same was insufficient to support tbe verdict of tbe jury. All of tbe facts and circumstances in evidence in the case point unerringly to tbe defendant as one of tbe thieves, and are sufficient to support the verdict of the jury.

For the reasons stated, the cause is affirmed.

EDWARDS, P. J., and DAVENPORT, J., concur.
