§ 155.45 Larceny; pleading and proof.
  1.   Where  it  is  an  element of the crime charged that property was
taken from the person  or  obtained  by  extortion,  an  indictment  for
larceny must so specify.  In all other cases, an indictment, information
or complaint for larceny is sufficient if it alleges that the  defendant
stole property of the nature or value required for the commission of the
crime charged without designating the particular way or manner in  which
such property was stolen or the particular theory of larceny involved.
  2.   Proof  that  the  defendant  engaged  in any conduct constituting
larceny as defined in  section  155.05  is  sufficient  to  support  any
indictment, information or complaint for larceny other than one charging
larceny by extortion.  An indictment charging larceny by extortion  must
be supported by proof establishing larceny by extortion.
