Citation23 S.W. 989
PartiesNIVETH v. STATE.
CourtTexas Court of Criminal Appeals

Appeal from Titus county court; H. T. Rhea, Judge.

Leon Niveth was convicted of theft, and appeals Reversed.

R. L. Henry, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

HURT, P. J.

Conviction of theft of a watch under article 742a, Pen. Code, (Laws 1877, p. 14.) The evidence, with the testimony of Louis Niveth (the father of appellant) eliminated, leaves the case in great doubt as to whether appellant fraudulently converted the watch to his own use. When considered in the light of his testimony, there was no criminal conversion. We are of opinion that the evidence does not support the conviction. Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
