The single count in the indictment being for larceny, for the reason stated in the preceding case, we must also reverse the judgment and sentence here.
The judgment of the Superior Court and the sentence of the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace for Centre County are reversed so far as they relate to Irvin G. Gray only, and a venire facias de novo awarded.
