Ohio Supreme Court · Decided March 22, 1967 · Eoucur, Heebeet, Matthias, Neill, Rrown, Schneider, Tapt, Zimmerman

9 Ohio St. 2d 186; 224 N.E.2d 913; 38 Ohio Op. 2d 420; 1967 Ohio LEXIS 443

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The indictment charges that money was obtained in the amount of $72.50. The evidence tended to prove that the thing obtained was a check for $72.50. “Money” and “check” are not synonymous. The state failed to prove the charge in the indictment. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed.

Judgment reversed.
