58 Ohio St. (N.S.) 722
Morris v. State

Opinion of the Court

Judgment affirmed.

Dissenting Opinion

Spear, C. J.,

dissents on the ground that a jury, eleven of whom sat as jurors in the trial and conviction of another charged with the stealing of the same goods, and necessarily involving testimony in the main identical with that in the case about to be tried, is not an impartial jury within the meaning of our constitution.
