State v. Johnson
Supreme Court of Arkansas
APPEAL from Miller county. Hon. J. K. Young, Circuit Judge. Defendant should be prosecuted under the laws of Arkansas, sec. 1659, Gantt’s Digest, he having brought the stolen property into this State.
1Opinion of the CourtEakin, J.
After a jury had been impanneled to try the appellee on the charge of larceny, and had hoard the evidence, we are advised by the record that the court stopped the trial, and remanded the prisoner to jail, for a specified time, to await a requisition from the Governor of Texas. The record recites, that it appeared to the satisfaction of the court that the offense was committed in Texas, although the money alleged to have been stolen was found in defendant’s possession, in Miller county, Arkansas. The court was, therefore, of the opinion that it had no jurisdiction to try the cause.
