U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit · Decided May 21, 1953 · Edgerton, Clark, Fahy
204 F.2d 733; 92 U.S. App. D.C. 275; 1953 U.S. App. LEXIS 2515 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

James v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted of entering a store with intent to steal, and of maliciously destroying property. His principle contentions are (1) that the officers who arrested him without a warrant had no probable cause to believe he had committed a felony, and therefore the evidence taken from him was illegally seized and should have been suppressed; and (2) the evidence presented at the trial was insufficient to convict. We find no error.

Affirmed.
