No. 40977.

158 N.W.2d 202 (1968)

STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Jerome RUFFIN, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Minnesota.

April 11, 1968.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, Ronald C. Elmquist, Minneapolis, for appellant.

Douglas M. Head, Atty. Gen., St. Paul, George M. Scott, County Atty., Henry W. McCarr, Jr., Minneapolis, for respondent.

OPINION

MURPHY, Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction. Defendant asks for a reversal or new trial on the grounds that Minn.St. 609.52, subd. 2(4), which proscribes theft by swindling, is unconstitutionally vague and uncertain; that the verdict is not supported by the evidence; and that the court erred in failing to give adequate instructions to the jury concerning the elements of the offense charged.
