      W. 8. Kenworthy and Ira W. Anderson, for appellant
    
      J. ff. McJunkin, Attorney General, for the State.
   Per Curiam.

The defendant was convicted of larceny upon an indictment charging that defendant, “in the day-time, did feloniously break and enter into the dwelling-house of one W. K., then and there being with intent to commit a public offense, to-wit; the crime of larceny, and did then and there steal, take and carry away the personal goods and clothes of said W. K.; two blankets of the value of six dollars each,” etc., etc., describing the property stolen as being of the value of forty-three dollars. Prom the judgment upon the verdict defendant appeals to this court.

It was held in The State v. Ridley & Johnson, ante, p. 370, that an indictment substantially in the form of the one in this case would not support a conviction for larceny. Poliowing that case the judgment of the District Court is

Reversed.
