¶1The appeal is from a six-man jury conviction on a complaint charging the defendant with an attempt (G. L. c. 274, § 6) to commit larceny (G. L. c. 266, § 30[1] and [2]). On the evidence most favorable to the Commonwealth, it was matter of conjecture (see and compare Commonwealth v. Croft, *884345 Mass. 143, 143-145 [1962]; Commonwealth v. Senati, 3 Mass. App. Ct. 304, 305-306 [1975]) whether the defendant had removed the wallet from the trousers in question, which was the only overt act charged on the face of the complaint. See G. L. c. 277, § 79 (attempt to commit crime); Commonwealth v. Gosselin, 365 Mass. 116, 121 (1974); Commonwealth v. Burns, 8 Mass. App. Ct. 194, 195-197 (1979). Accordingly, the judgment is reversed, the verdict is set aside, and the complaint is to be dismissed.
¶2So ordered.
