v.
Frederick Eldridge MARTIN.
No. 508.
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
May 3, 1967.
*97 Atty. Gen. T. W. Bruton and Staff Attorney Wilson B. Partin, Jr., Raleigh, for the State.
Boyce, Lake & Burns, Raleigh, for defendant appellant.
PER CURIAM.
Defendant contends there was a fatal variance between the indictment and proof, in that the indictment charges defendant broke and entered "Hill's Sporting Goods, Inc., 1720 Louisburg Road, Raleigh," and in the *98 proof the corporation was variously referred to as "Hill's, Inc.," "Hill's Sporting Goods," or "Hill's," located at 1720 North Boulevard. The names were used interchangeably by the witnesses to identify the same occupant of the building and the same owner of the property.
In State v. Wyatt, 254 N.C. 220, 118 S.E.2d 420, the indictment for embezzlement alleged ownership in the "Pestroy Exterminating Company." The bill of particulars laid the ownership in "Pestroy Exterminators, Inc.," and the witnesses in their testimony referred to both of those names and "Pestroy Exterminating Corporation" interchangeably. The court there held no fatal variance existed between the allegations and proof, it being apparent that all the witnesses were referring to the same corporation. In the instant case, it is apparent from the record that all the witnesses were talking about the same corporation. See also State v. Wilson, 264 N.C. 595, 142 S.E.2d 180.
Defendant further contends fatal variance between the address alleged in the indictment and the proof offered. "Where an indictment alleges the particular place where an act took place, and such allegation is not descriptive of the offense, and is not required to be proved as laid in order to show the court's jurisdiction because such jurisdiction is established by other evidence admissible under other allegations, a variance which does not mislead accused or expose him to double jeopardy is not material." 42 C.J.S. Indictments and Informations § 256, p. 1276.
Here, the allegations as to address were not descriptive of the offense of breaking, entering and larceny, and the bill of indictment was so specific as to contain as a part thereof an itemized, detailed "description of property taken." The bill of indictment described the building so as to remove it from the application of G.S. § 14-72 and established jurisdiction in Wake County Superior Court. Thus defendant could not have been misled in the preparation of his defense.
The possibility of double jeopardy would be cured by extrinsic evidence that 1720 Louisburg Road and 1720 North Boulevard are one and the same place. In the case of State v. Hicks, 233 N.C. 511, 64 S.E. 2d 871, the Court, speaking through Ervin, J., stated:
"It is an ancient and basic principle of criminal jurisprudence that no one shall be twice put in jeopardy for the same offense. * * *
"Whether the facts alleged in the second indictment, if given in evidence, would have sustained a conviction under the first is always to be determined by the court from an inspection of the two indictments. State v. Nash, supra (86 N.C. 650). Whether the same evidence would support a conviction in each case is to be determined by a jury from extrinsic testimony if the plea of former jeopardy avers facts dehors the record showing the identity of the offense charged in the first with that set forth in the last indictment. State v. Bell, supra (205 N.C. 225, 171 S.E. 50)."
Moreover, the road referred to serves traffic from downtown Raleigh to Louisburg and other northern points, and is one of the most used thoroughfares in the City of Raleigh. Upon the Court taking judicial notice that Louisburg Road and North Boulevard are one and the same road, the number 1720 would specify the exact situs. "Courts sitting in a city judicially notice the streets, squares, the public grounds thereof, their location, and relation to one another, and the direction in which they run as laid down on an official map of the city." 20 Am.Jur., Evidence, § 54, p. 78. The variance was not fatal and did not require a nonsuit.
We have carefully examined those portions of the charge of the court which defendant assigns as error, and, reading the same contextually, we find no prejudicial error.
No error.
