Description
By information filed in the district court for Montrose county, John O. Sparr, to whom reference will hereafter be made as defendant, was charged with embezzlement of one hundred 100-pound sacks of pinto beans, of the value $750.00, the property of O. W. Robinson. The embezzlement allegedly occurred "on or about" January 8, 1949, at which time defendant was warehouse foreman for Robinson. By the second count of the information defendant is charged with the offense of false pretenses. However, at the conclusion of the peoples case, this count was dismissed on motion of the district attorney. The jury returned a verdict finding defendant guilty as charged in the first count. Motion for new trial was thereafter filed, argued, and denied, and defendant was sentenced to serve a term not less than one and one-half years nor more than five years in the state penitentiary.
