Supreme Court of Missouri November 12, 1968, 53397 (State v. Thomas)

PRITCHARD, Commissioner.

Appellant was convicted by the verdict of a jury for the possession of a narcotic drug, 43 milligrams of heroin. Upon proof and a finding of a prior 1953 grand larceny conviction, the court sentenced appellant to eight years imprisonment in the Department of Corrections of Missouri.

The sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the conviction is not here challenged.
