Davis v. State

Opinion of the Court

Blandford, J.

Where a burglary has been committed, and a short ’time thereafter some of the property which was in the house broken open before and at the time of the burglary is found in the possession ■of the accused, if the possession of the property is not accounted for, this affords a presumption of guilt.

(a) There was no error in the charge, and the verdict was sustained by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.
