    MELENDIA v. PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
    No. 3952
    Circuit Court of Appeals Third Circuit
    December 10, 1928
    
      See, also, 29 F.2d 741
    
    D. H. Jackson, Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, for appellant
    
    J. C. Fox, Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, for the People
    
    Before Buffington, Woolley, and Davis, Circuit Judges
    
   PER CURIAM

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.
