109 Kan. 699

State v. Craig

Supreme Court of Kansas

Decided November 12, 1921

Supreme Court of Kansas · decided 1921-11-12

<p>Appeal from Butler district court; Allison T. Ayres, judge.</p>

Affirmed · Decided 1921-11-12

¶1The opinion of the court was delivered by

Burch, J.:

¶2The defendant was convicted of grand larceny, and appeals.

¶3The sole ground of the appeal is that the defendant gave a clear account of his handling of the property stolen, was corroborated by a credible witness, and consequently the jury must have dealt with the testimony in an arbitrary manner. This court has the judgment of the district court to the contrary, in the order overruling the motion for a new trial. It may be the defendant and his witness, whom the court and the jury saw while on the witness stand, were discredited by their manner of testifying, or other circumstances. Besides that, the state’s chief witness was corroborated in respect to important details. Under these circumstances this court is not authorized to interfere.

¶4The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
