People v. Wiggins
New York Court of Appeals · Decided May 15, 1883 · Earl
1 N.Y. Crim. 296

People v. Wiggins

Opinion of the Court

Earl, J.

The proof was ample to convict the defendant of the crime for which she was indicted,-and there was no error in the charge of the judge. It was not necessary for the people to call Mrs.. Curtis as a witness. There was sufficient evidence that she was the person in Macy’s store; that she owned the pocket-book, and that the defendant took it from her against her will, and without her consent, for the purpose of stealing it.

The judgment should be affirmed.

All concur.
