STATE V. REESE
112 Wash. 507,192 P. 934 (1920)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a motion in arrest of judgment for conviction
of grand larceny.
FACTS: Reese (D) stole a gold watch while on a train that passed through Spokane County,
Washington. D was tried for grand larceny. At trial, the prosecution did not allege that the
crime was committed in Spokane County. A state statute made the course traversed by any
railway car a criminal district and gave jurisdiction for all crimes committed on such car
into any county through which the car was passing during any particular trip. However, the
state constitution provided that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury of the county in which the offense was
allegedly committed. The jury found D guilty. D appealed.
