Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Larceny — Articles from Different Floors of Department Store — Chargeable as Single Offense. The stealing of several articles upon different floors of a department store during one visit of the defendant thereto may properly be charged as a single offense in one count of an information. And it is held that the evidence justified a finding that the articles here involved were taken without the defendant having left the building.</p> <p>2. Same — Evidence of Good Reputation of Defendant — Instruction.- When the jury is told that evidence of the previous good reputation of the defendant in a criminal case should be considered for its bearing upon his credibility as a witness as well as upon the broader question whether.there is a reasonable doubt of his guilt, no error is committed in refusing to add that such evidence stands as a recommendation that he will speak the truth.</p>
