the charge of having received stolen goods.
He admitted that he had bought a half
dozen knives and pistol from Ennis. but
positively denied that he had bought the
half dozen fountain pens which Ennis
claimed he had sold him or that he knew
the goods were stolen. Strider was repre-
scented by Attorney Robinson Moncure
who, in summing up the case stated that
all the evidence against his client had been
given by Ennis, who had confessed to the
court that he was thief and also that he
had denied on several previous occasions
that he had stolen the goods from Mr.
Knights store. He. therefore, asked for
the acquittal of Strider.
Justice Cation, however, stated that al
though the amount of goods said to nave
been bought by Strider constituted only
petit larceny. the practice of buying stolen
goods must be broken up IL robberies were
to be stopped In Alexandria, and he would
consequently impose the maximum penalty
upon Strider and fine him 800 in addition
to jail sentence of six motnhs.
Attorney Moncure stated that he would
take an appeal from the decision. Until the
appeal can be taken Justice Cation fixed the
bail for Strider at 81 900.
