    "head_matter": "The People of the State of Illinois, Defendant in Error, v. Thomas Lyons, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 21,624.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. William N. Gemmill, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1915.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed March 28, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nProsecution by the People of the State of Illinois against Thomas Lyons, defendant, for larceny of a five dollar treasury note of the United States. From a judgment against him, defendant brings error.\nDefendant was charged on information with larceny of \u201cone United States of America Treasury Note of the denomination of five dollars of the value of five dollars.\u201d On trial befor\u00e9 a jury he was found guilty as charged in the information, on the evidence of the prosecuting witness that the property taken from him was \u201ca five dollar bill,\u201d without further evidence specifying its kind or character, or even whether the hill of that denomination was money of the United States or some other country.\nLouis Greenberg and Thomas H. Mercer, for plaintiff in error.\nMaclay Hoyne, for defendant in error; Edward E. Wilson, of counsel.\nAbstract of the Decision.\nLabceny, \u00a7 35 \u2014when evidence insufficient to sustain charge of larceny of U. S. treasury note. Evidence of prosecuting witness that defendant took \u201ca five dollar bill\u201d from him does not support charge in the information of larceny of \u201cone United States of America Treasury Note of the denomination of five dollars of the value of five dollars\u201d; but there is a failure to prove an essential averment of the declaration.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
