        "text": "Mr. Justice Baker\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nPlaintiff in error was convicted of petit larceny in the Municipal Court and prosecutes this writ of error to reverse the judgment on the grounds, first, that the name of the person whose money was stolen was not proved as alleged in the information; and, second, that the evidence is insufficient to warrant the finding of guilty. The information and accompanying affidavit were signed \u201cLeonhard Stall.\u201d The inforrt\u00edation alleged that the defendant stole certain money, \u201cthe property of Leonhard Stoll.\u201d The prosecuting witness testified that his name was Leon Stoll.\nThere is no substantial variance in sound between Stall and Stoll and they are the same names.\nIn Wilson v. Turner, 81 Ill. 402, where the name of the plaintiff was Elizabeth H. Turner and the note sued on was payable to \u201cLizia H. Turner,\u201d it was lield that the presumption might he indulged that the word \u201cLizia\u201d in the connection used was a contraction of the name Elizabeth, the Christian name of the plaintiff. Here the prosecuting witness wrote his Christian name in signing the information and affidavit, \u201cLeonhard,\u201d and testified that his name was \u201cLeon.\u201d Leon is a contraction of \u201cLeonhard.\u201d It means a lion; \u201cLeonhard\u201d means brave or strong as a lion; and we think that in the connection used the presumption may he indulged that the Christian name of the prosecuting witness was \u201cLeonhard\u201d and that the word \u201cLeon\u201d is a contraction of the word \u201cLeon-hard.\u201d\nThe defendant offered no evidence on the trial. We think that from the evidence the jury might properly find the defendant guilty as charged in the information, and the judgment is affirmed.\nAffirmed.",
