Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Property feloniously taken from the owner’s house was found in the personal possession of the accused.' As he made an unsatisfactory explanation of how he had acquired it, we find that the rule of evidence in larceny cases in respect to property recently stolen and found in the possession of one other than the owner was not improperly applied. 17 R. C. L. 71-74.

The judgment is affirmed.
