<p>Accusation of larceny. Before Judge Parks. City court of ' Dawson. March 19, 1900.</p>

Decided 1900-05-12

Cobb, J.

¶1While recent possession of stolen goods unexplained will justify a conviction for larceny, the mere possession of goods several months subsequent to the time they were alleged to have been stolen and a failure to satisfactorily account for such possession will not alone authorize a conviction.

¶2Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Fish, J., absent.
