Description
The offense which the respondent is charged with having committed on December 13, 1949, is that of larceny from the home of
Sarah A. Rollins of $12,000 belonging to her. R. L., c. 452, s. 3, as amended by Laws 1949, c. 140, s. 1. Mrs. Rollins was an aged woman, ninety-one at the time of her death in April, 1950, who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on
November 20, 1949. Thereafter for the most part, she was confined to her bed until her death. According to the evidence it
had been reputed for some time that she kept large sums of money about her home, and in 1948 she was advised to "count her
money" and stated that she had $158,000. There was evidence that she customarily concealed currency in a variety of places
in the house: under a rug, under a pillow and the mattress of her bed, in a clock, in a closet and in a kitchen table drawer.
At her death only a few hundred dollars cash on hand were found, and slightly less than $20,000 in savings bank deposits.
