The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Mary Stephens, Appellant.

Judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn, convicting the defendant of the crime of petit larceny, reversed on the law, information dismissed and bail exonerated. The evidence is insufficient to establish that the sum of money alleged to have been stolen was in the complainant’s possession when the defendant entered her home. Lazansky, P. J., Carswell, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ., concur.
