The State, 43 Texas, 658 , says: “The unexplained possession of stolen property recently after the theft is unquestionably a circumstance which often tends to prove the guilt of the party in whose possession it is found

The charge, as a whole, and in connection with the facts of the case, may show that it was neither intended nor understood as meaning that the law attached to such possession
