Hamilton v. State
Decided March 15, 1916
Mississippi Supreme Court · decided 1916-03-15
Hon. P. B. Johnson, Judge. Geneva Hamilton was tried for petit larceny and convicted of trespass and appeals. The proof shows that she had lost some hogs and found certain hogs on the place of one Parker and took them home and penned them up. These hogs bore the same earmarks as her own, and it seems that one Mc-Kinnon also used the same earmarks on his hogs.
