New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. . Eugene B. Walker

April 26, 1910198 N.Y. 329

Summary

The Court held that criminally receiving stolen property requires three essential facts plus felonious intent, and that a trial court may not refuse to submit the question of the defendant's possession to the jury; the refusal was reversible error, so the conviction was reversed and a new trial ordered.
