Boslaugh, J.,
concurring.
I concur generally in the opinions of Judge Newton and Judge McCown.
Intent is an element of the offense only where the defendant is charged with unlawful possession of a combination of parts intended for use in creating a destruc*41tive device. Where the statutory presumption is relied on the jury should be instructed that the evidence must show the defendant intended to use the parts to create a destructive device or knew that some other party present in the vehicle had such an intent.
In the Arbuckle case the cross-examination of the character witnesses went beyond an inquiry to test the credibility of the witnesses and ascertain the weight or value to be given to their testimony.
Clinton, and Brodkey, JJ., join in this concurrence.
