McFarland, J.,
dissenting: The appeal herein should be determined on its merits. Certainly, sufficiency of the evidence in this particular case is not a matter of statewide interest. However, the question of whether there must be specific evidence of who owns property as opposed to general evidence of ownership is a matter which arises in many criminal cases. The trial judge herein took an extremely strict position on the subject. Presumably, he will adopt the same position when the question next arises and he is not alone in so doing. I believe determination of question is important to a correct and uniform administration of the criminal law of Kansas.
