State v. Dolson
State v. Dolson
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Appellant was convicted in the superior court of King county of burglary. The substantial part
At the trial it was shown that Ostrand and Lillegran were the owners of a building in King county; that a large portion of the building was used as a lodging house; that another portion of the same building, which was a separate and distinct part thereof, was used by them as a warehouse where they received and stored goods belonging to others, for hire and safe keeping; that it had been for a long time previous thereto filled with property belonging-to various and divers persons; that that portion of the building was used and operated as a warehouse; that in the night time the defendant did unlawfully, feloniously, and burglariously break into and enter the warehouse-where such goods were stored and deposited, with intent to commit a misdemeanor; that defendant was apprehended in said warehouse, having broken open several trunks and other property kept and stored therein; that part of the property he had in his possession, and had removed other portions of the property outside of the warehouse.
Two errors are assigned: First, in overruling defendant’s motion to dismiss the information; second, in overruling defendant’s motion for a new trial. The argument of defendant’s counsel is that a warehouse building is not mentioned in the statute, and that Ostrand & Lillegran
We do not think the use of the word “building” in connection with “warehouse” changes the meaning of the word “warehouse.” The information came properly within the terms of the statute, and the evidence was conclusive of the burglarious entry of the defendant.
The judgment is affirmed.
Gordon, C. J., and Anders, Dunbar and Fullerton, JJ., concur.
