These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The term ‘convert to his own use’ is not descriptive of crime, but is used in criminal statutes as a legal term with a definite meaning, well understood, and is equivalent to the legal term ‘conversion,’ and this is the ‘conversion to his own use’ of our criminal statute, which declares that such a conversion of state money, by one who has received it for the state, shall constitute larceny.””
