FRAZIER v. STATE.
    (No. 6952.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Jan. 24, 1923.)
    Appeal from District Court, Ellis County; W. L. Harding, Judge.
    W. E. Krazier was convicted of theft of property, and he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    W. E. Myres, of Fort Worth, P. J. Hemp-hill, of Dallas, and H. R. Bishop, of Port Worth, for appellant.
    W. A. Keeling, Atty. Gen., and O. L. Stone, Asst. Atty: Gen., for the State.
   HAWKINS, J.

Appellhnt was convicted for theft of property from the Pair Dry Goods Company, and his punishment assessed at 5 years in the penitentiary.

The evidence shows that on the same day property was also stolen from Cheeves Brothers & Co.’s store. Appellant and Peggy Praz-ier wére charged with the commission of both offenses. The cases against Peggy Prazier have been heretofore affirmed by this court. No. 6953, 246 S. W. 393, opinion December 20, 1922, No. 6951, 246 S. W. 391, original opinion May 24, 1922, on rehearing December 20, 1922.

The facts in the instant case are practically the same as developed in Peggy Frazier v. State, No. 6953, and are sufficiently stated in the opinion in that case. Appellant’s chief complaint is directed at the reception of evidence showing the theft from Cheeves Brothers’ store, on the ground that it was proving an independent and extraneous crime. This, as well as other contentions, were presented in the Peggy Prazier Cases, supra, and were therein all settled against appellant. To discuss them again would serve no good purpose and be no aid to the bench and bar generally. On the authority of those cases, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
