State v. Dorsey
State v. Dorsey
Opinion of the Court
The defendant, Robert Dorsey, was charged upon a criminal information with stealing certain United States treasury notes and certain national bank notes of the aggregate value of $30, and the property of Charles Carr. He was tried upon this charge, and convicted, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for the term of two years; and from this sentence he now appeals to this court. He claims that the larceny was committed by means of his taking the money from the pocket of said Charles Carr, and that the conviction was therefore erroneous, and this he claims upon the theory that he was charged, tried and convicted for larceny generally, under § 78 of the act relating to crimes and punish
