““. . . ‘the felonious or criminal taking and carrying away of the personal property of another by force and against .the will of the owner and taking and carrying it away with the then present intent on the part of the one who takes' it to appropriate it to his own use for all time and to deprive the rightful owner of its use, and when that taking is from the person of one .then it becomes larceny from the person.’ . . .””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Massey“A reasonable doubt is not a vain, imaginary, captious or fictitious doubt, but it is a fair doubt, based on reason and common sense, and growing out of the testimony in the case. It is such a doubt as leaves one's mind, after a careful consideration of all the evidence, in such a condition that he cannot say he has an abiding conviction to a moral certainty of the defendant's guilt.”
