judgment on the part OF children. the
driver Of the car should have reduced
his speed when he got In close prox-
Unity to the boy, and that such Q pre-

LEGAL POINTS FOR
AUTOMOBILE OWNER
~ OUR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES,.


Quietly and unrsmittinsly the courts
are doing effective work toward the
suppression Of the growing evil of
automobile stealing. Recognising that
the underlying factor In the situation
10 the facility with which stolen cars
may be marketed. the courts are lay
ing down the law relative TO the re-
ceipt OF stolen property with q sew
Gritty and particularly that leaves
little room for escape upon the part
OF even the most astute receivers.
in a recent prosecution IN Kansas
against the purchaser OF d stolen car.
upon the ground that he purch ssed II
with knowledge or suspicion OF its
feionious acquisition by the seller. the
principal evidence relied upon by the
prosecution was the simple fact
that the engine number on the car
appeared to have been altered. The
defendant contended that he did not
attach any importance to this when
he bought the car. and that he had
no knowledge that would indicate
fraud or crime on the part OF the
seller. The court held. however. that
the mere fact OF the alteration OF the
engine number was sufficient to put
reasonable prudent man upon in
quiry. and to arouse his suspicious,
and that where such a condition IL
proved, and Is not explained away. a
Jury may infer that the purchaser of
the car had knowledge pointing to
it's theft by the seller. This ruling
was sustained. on appeal by the Su-
preme Court Of Kansas.
Another important decision on the
same subject has been rendered by
the supreme court OF Illinois.
The legislature OF the State named
passed law making II q criminal
onense for any person to purchase
or have possession OF a car on which
the manufacturers number or idsnti-
fcation mark had been removed, de-
faced. covered. or destroyed. In q
prosecution brought under this
statute the accused argued that the
statute did not apply to him because
when he purchased the car In ques-
tion he did not know or notice that
the makers number had been tam
pered with. The court decided. how
ever. that a conviction under the
statute was sustsipable without re-
gard To the accused's state OF knowl-
edge. the purpose OF the law being
twofold: (D To require all pur-
chssers OF automobiles to take the
indicated precaution before consum-
mating their purchases. and (2) to
make II impossible for 4 thief to hide
his crime and market his booty by the
elimination. Of the tell-tale idsntinca-
ton marks.
According to a recent decision OF
the supreme court of Kentucky the
father Is liable for injuries inflicted
through the negligence OF his son in
driving the car of the former, where
the former permits his son to use the
car. In the case In question the son
was out for q joyride with his friends
when the accident occurred. and the
father sought to escape liability be-
cause the car was not being used II,

time.
