Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
