Syllabus

<p>Embezzlement as Bailee—Insufficiency of Evidence.—A defendant cannot be convicted of the embezzlement of money as bailee under Penal Code, section 507, upon evidence which shows without contradiction that he received the money from the complaining witness to be invested for her in stocks, and that he so invested it, and that if he was guilty of any offense it was the conversion of the stocks, the relation between the parties as to the money being one of agency, and not of bailment.1</p>
