Syllabus

<p>1. Theft—Indictment.—Whenever the value of a stolen article affects the penalty for the offense, it must be alleged in the indictment and be established by the proof.</p> <p>2. Same. — An indictment for the theft of several articles may allege an aggregate value to the whole; but if the value affects the penalty, it is better pleading to allege the value of each article, and thus provide against a possible failure to prove the theft of some of them.</p>
