HENEY's 5 CoNFEDEBA-Es.
There are several reasons why the
defendant committed the larceny. He

was no doubt that the gold taken by
Heney t. Reno was Government gold.

If his brother Mike stole it from

Heney testified that the bullion his

crude bullion was nearly $50 fine.

he not have it treated at the Carson
