Syllabus

<p>1. Larceny—Information—Waiver. An information charging larceny and describing the stolen property as a given sum of money, without attempting a further description or stating that the informant was unable to give one, was sufficient as against an objection to the introduction of evidence and a motion in arrest of judgment, no motion to quash having been filed.</p> <p>2. Criminal Law—Continuance—Absent Witness. A motion for a continuance on account of an absent witness was properly denied, the affidavit in support of the motion failing to show-sufficient effort to compel the witness’s attendance.</p> <p>3. Larceny—Proof. Evidence reviewed and held sufficient to support a verdict of guilty in a prosecution for larceny.-</p>
