What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. You will be asked a question pertaining to issues that may appear in any civil law cases including civil government, civil private, and diversity cases. The issue is: "Did the factual interpretation by the court or its conclusions (e.g., regarding the weight of evidence or the sufficiency of evidence) favor the appellant?" This includes discussions of whether the litigant met the burden of proof. Answer the question based on the directionality of the appeals court decision. If the court discussed the issue in its opinion and answered the related question in the affirmative, answer "Yes". If the issue was discussed and the opinion answered the question negatively, answer "No". If the opinion considered the question but gave a mixed answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part, answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion does not discuss the issue, or notes that a particular issue was raised by one of the litigants but the court dismissed the issue as frivolous or trivial or not worthy of discussion for some other reason, answer "Issue not discussed". If the opinion considered the question but gave a "mixed" answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part (or if two issues treated separately by the court both fell within the area covered by one question and the court answered one question affirmatively and one negatively), answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion either did not consider or discuss the issue at all or if the opinion indicates that this issue was not worthy of consideration by the court of appeals even though it was discussed by the lower court or was raised in one of the briefs, answer "Issue not discussed".

PAGE, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff in error (called defendant) was convicted of having possession of “Onyx” and “Concordia” hosiery, parts of two interstate shipments, knowing it to have been stolen. The “Onyx” and “Concordia” hosiery was found in defendant’s place of business by police officers and others looking, under a search warrant, for “As You Like It” hosiery, which was no part of an interstate shipment, nor was it in any way related to the hosiery in question here.
A witness, present when the search was made, was, over objection, permitted by the court to testify that he was manager for Beatum & Co., whose place had been robbed, that he had sworn out and signed the search warrant, and that he and the officers went to defendant’s place of business in search of, and found, “As You Like It” hosiery which had been stolen. There was no error in the admission of that evidence. Walsh v. United States, 174 F. 615, 98 C. C. A. 461; Bottomley v. United States, 3 Fed. Cas. 968, No. 1,688; Lincoln v. Claflin, 7 Wall. 132, 138, 19 L. Ed. 106; King v. Wylie, 4 Bosanquet & P. 91, 92; Irving et al. v. Motly, 7 Bingham, 543, 548; Sapir v. United States, 174 F. 219, 221, 98 C. C. A. 227; N. Y. Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Armstrong, 117 U. S. 591, 599, 6 S. Ct. 877, 29 L. Ed. 997; Castle v. Bullard, 64 U. S. (23 How.) 172, 187, 16 L. Ed. 424. It should be noted that the cases state an exception to the general rule that evidence of other transactions is not admissible.
The only other objection urged is that there was no evidence to show that the hosiery was stolen, or that defendant knew it was stolen. The evidence showed a shipment of “Concordia” hosiery from Philadelphia to Bullocks, Incorporated, a department store in Los Angeles, Cal., on June 27,1924, and that on their arrival, July 13, 1924, one ease was missing. Part of that shipment was positively identified in defendant’s possession on July 10th, three days before the car carrying the shipment arrived in Los Angeles.
As to defendant’s knowledge that the hosiery was stolen, there was evidence before the jury showing contradictory statements by defendant as to where he got the hosiery, and of attempts at concealment of parts of the hosiery; that he bought it for one-half the wholesale price, and sold it at retail for a price that yielded him a good profit, and yet that was far below the wholesale price; that, he had large quantities of new goods in the original packages from three different, but recent, thefts. Prom this and other evidence there was clearly a question for the jury.
The judgment is affirmed.
