Price, 303 Seventh 8&t., carpenter foreman on construc- tion of the new city garage at the filtration plant, presented a juridical question to the law Sat- urday that had three students of Blackstone. puzzled momentarily. Price was sitting at a table ina local pool hall Thursday night. He ordered a can of pipe tobacco . and paid for it with a $5 bill he shoved wallet and tobacco can into the same hip pocket, stowed the change for the $5 bill in an- other pocket.’ A little later, Price told peace officers, he pulled his tobacco can out to refill his pipe. The wallet came with it and dropped to the floor without Price being aware of his loss. Phillip Cosson, sitting at an- other. table, noticed the wallet on the floor, picked it and said, “Who owns this?” “It's mine,” said another table sitter, and Cosson the wallet to the claimant. Within a few minutes, Price arose from the table and dis- covered his wallet with its $27 in currency was missing. He men- tioned the fact. Cosson spoke up and told Price he had given it to another Bismarck man. Unable to find the man who had taken the wallet, Price com- plained to the authorities, declar- ed he wanted to swear out a war- tate charging the man with the The kind of a charge to bring was what puzzled the peace of- ficers. There is a specific statute covering thefts of this character with only two persons involved, but no statute that includes an intermediary party. Thereupon Bismarck’s official legal coterie—District Judge Fred dJansonius, States Attorney George 8. Register and Police Magistrate Edward 8. Allen—went into a huddle, decided the culprit could be charged with grand larceny basing their decision on the word “or” in felony statutes relating to grand larceny — “fraud or stealth.” They decided the pocket- book had been taken by fraud. Price declared he would en- deavor to contact the alleged thief Saturday, and that if he couldn’t locate him he would swear out a complaint charging grand larceny.
