Calloway v. The State.
    Submitted April 28, —
    Decided May 12, 1900.
    Accusation of larceny. Before Judge Parks. City court of ' Dawson. March 19, 1900.
    
      Frank L. 'Parks and L. 01 Hoyl, for plaintiff in error.
    
      M. J. Yeomans, solicitor, contra.
   Cobb, J.

While 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.

Judgment reversed.

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