Description

Defendant was charged with the offense of stealing property having a value of fifty dollars or more. See §§
560.156 and 560.161(2) 1 The information also charged a prior felony conviction under the provisions of § 556.280.
The jury found defendant guilty of the offense charged and the court fixed his punishment at imprisonment in the penitentiary
for a term of three years. Defendant has appealed from the ensuing judgment. Lottie Rosen testified that she was employed as a switchboard operator by Royal Paper Company in an office located on the
second floor of the building at 8th and Spruce Streets in St. Louis, Missouri; that on March 20, 1967, at about 3:15 p.m.,
she came from behind a partition near the switchboard and saw a young man grab her purse and jump over the counter; that she
screamed, and two salesmen ran out from the back room and pursued him (this person was later identified as defendant and will
be hereinafter sometimes referred to as such); that she next saw defendant at "the court building" or "police station" about
a half hour later and identified him as the person who took her purse; that her purse was returned to her by one of the salesmen,
and her billfold containing $66.30, which was in the purse when it was taken, was returned to her by the police department.
Miss Rosen identified defendant in court as the person who took her purse.
