Melendia v. People of Virgin Islands
29 F.2d 741, 1 V.I. 597, 1928 U.S. App. LEXIS 2804
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit·Decided December 10, 1928·No. No. 3952·Published·Cited by 1 cases
Opinion
Property feloniously taken from the owner’s house was found in the personal possession of the accused.' As he made an unsatisfactory explanation of how he had acquired it, we find that the rule of evidence in larceny cases in respect to property recently stolen and found in the possession of one other than the owner was not improperly applied. 17 R. C. L. 71-74.
The judgment is affirmed.
