Description
Defendant's motion for judgment of nonsuit was properly denied. There was evidence, considered in the light most favorable for the State, tending to show that on the evening in question defendant in company with one Clegg came into the store and filling station of witness Howard, and that the defendant Cameron purchased a package of cigarettes, offering in payment a ten dollar bill saying that was the only money he had. The witness Howard in making change took out his pocketbook containing approximately ninety dollars in paper money and laid it on the counter behind the scales. At this juncture Clegg called for four gallons of gasoline, and Howard and Clegg went out of the store room to the front to service Clegg's automobile, leaving defendant Cameron alone in the store. Defendant shortly afterwards followed Clegg out of the store, and he and Clegg left in the latter's car. A few minutes later Howard discovered that his pocketbook and money were gone, and notified the sheriff. The defendant Cameron was arrested next day and on his person was found a billfold containing eighty-six dollars in paper money. Of this, witness Howard identified three bills as his and as having been in his pocketbook when taken -- one a $20 bill, identified by a brown spot on the end; a $5 bill, identified by a pencil mark around the figure ""5""; and a $1 bill identified by having been torn in two and pasted back together. Clegg, testifying as to what took place at the store, corroborated Howard in the main, but testified defendant came out of the store behind him.
