<p>Larceny — Evidence—Cortos Delicti. Evidence that furs “disappeared” and were “taken” from witness’ place of business sufficiently proves tbe corpus delicti upon a charge of larceny.</p> <p>Larceny — Grand Larceny — Value of Goods — Evidence—Sufficiency. Upon a charge of larceny of furs, evidence that goods identified as the goods in question of the value of $12 were found in the defendant’s room, and that a day or two previously other identified goods were sold by defendant for $25, is sufficient to show their value to be over $25 and to sustain a conviction of grand larceny.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Exceptions. In a criminal case, error cannot be assigned on the giving of instructions, .in the absence of any exceptions thereto.</p>
