Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided January 15, 1862 · Bigelow
86 Mass. 310

Commonwealth v. Griffin

Opinion of the Court

Bigelow, C. J.

The evidence offered was clearly competent as forming a part of a chain of circumstantial proof tending to show the defendants’ guilt. Although the facts proved were of themselves slight and apparently immaterial, they might have an important bearing in connection with other evidence leading to the conclusion that the defendants were leagued together in the commission of the larceny. Exceptions overruled.
