Syllabus

<p>Evidence that a laundress, upon discovering in a clothes’ basket committed to her, a bag of money belonging to her employer accidentally placed therein, recognized her duty to return the bag to its owner, but subsequently and before so returning it fraudulently converted the money, will support a conviction of embezzlement under General Statutes, 3311, condemning the act by a servant as to anything of value which has come into his possession, care, custody or control by reason of his employment. (Taylor and Parkhill, J.J., dissenting.)</p>
