Pierce v. State

' Appellant was convicted under an information charging Mm with having stolen 1,800 pounds of seed cotton from Mrs. I. B. Stewart on September 15,1939. The larceny was committed on the night of that date.

There were certain incriminating circumstances indicating that appellant had stolen the cotton. Explanations exculpating appellant were offered, which might have been accepted but for the testimony of Rogers Jack Joplin, who testified that he saw appellant loading the cotton in his truck. If this testimony is true, there can be no question but that appellant was the thief who stole the cotton.
