State v. Eubanks
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Twenty-Second Judicial District' Court, Parish of Bast Baton Rouge; George Kent Eavrot, Judge. William Eubanks was convicted of larceny and appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.
The defendant was tried before the judge without the intervention of a jury, on an information charging him with the larceny of seven sacks of cotton seed of the value of $15, and was found guilty by the court.
Defendant moved in arrest of judgment on the grounds that he had been denied his *429constitutional right of trial by jury, and that Act No. 107, p. 161, of 1902, is unconstitutional in so far as it purports to grade larceny as a misdemeanor.
This motion in arrest was overruled, and the defendant was sentenced to be imprisoned in the parish jail for a term of six months.
