John Riley was "sent up" fox-stealing a few tools, worth a total of six dollars, from a To-peka railroad station. It never was proved conclusively that He w. guilty. The sole evidence against him was his identification by an ignorant pawnbroker to whom the goods were sold. The jury consideted this evidence sufficient.

At the same time, however, it was shown that Riley never before had even been suspected of dishonest act. It was shown that his invalid wife was critically ill at the time the tools were stolen. It was shown that he was without money to purchase food and medicine of which she was in dire need. In fact, it was shown that he was in desperate straits for the need of a few dollars. This was not brought out by the defense but by the state in order to show the prisoner's alleged motive for the theft.
