1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Brantly
The defendant was by information charged, jointly with George Jacobson and John Sullivan, with the crime of grand larceny, committed in Teton county on November 28, 1900. The subject of the larceny is alleged to have been five horses branded J. H. L., the property of one Hill and one Messaear. The defendant demanded and was awarded a separate trial. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, whereupon the defendant was sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor in the state prison for the term of 14 years. From the judgment and an order denying him a new trial he has appealed.
