MORGAN V. COMMONWEALTH
47 S.W.2d 543 (Ky. 1932)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction for grand larceny.
FACTS: Morgan (D) was employed as the manager of a Western Union Office. D was the only person who knew the combination to the company safe. A copy of the combination had been sent in a sealed envelope to the company, but it had never been opened. D had the only set of keys to the box inside the safe where the money was kept. The money box disappeared. D was indicted for grand larceny. At trial, the judge charged the jury that any money placed in the safe reverted to the control of Western Union. D was convicted and appealed; his crime was embezzlement and not grand larceny.
