Opinion

No. A-2459.

Opinion Filed May 26, 1917.

Appeal from County Court, Beaver County; John A. Spohn, Judge.

Walter Morris was convicted of petty larceny, and appeals. Affirmed.

R.H. Loofbourrow, for plaintiff in error.

R. McMillan, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.


Plaintiff in error, Walter Morris, was convicted at the March, 1915, term of the county court of Beaver county on a charge of petty larceny and his punishment fixed at a fine of $10.

Upon a careful examination of the record, we find no error sufficient to warrant a reversal of the judgment. It is therefore affirmed.
