1Opinion of the Court
HARRIS, Associate Judge.
This is an appeal from a conviction of attempted petit larceny. D.C.Code 1973, §§ 22-103, -2202. Appellant contends principally that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial on the grounds (1) that the government failed to prove corporate ownership of the property in question, and (2) that the defense was denied its right to cross-examine the central government witness and to impeach him with testimony concerning allegedly inconsistent prior statements. We agree with appellant’s position on the latter point, and remand the case for a new trial.
