How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that evidence of purchase price of railroad signs insufficient to place value on signs that were no longer new or useable
  • holding that testimony of the purchase price coupled with market price of scrap aluminum per pound was insufficient to establish value because no testimony was given to establish the number of pounds stolen
  • \Purchase price alone is not a sufficient criterion of value and the mere statement that the value of a thing is a certain sum without stating the reasons for this conclusion lacks probative value.\
  • cost or purchase price evidence alone insufficient to show damage
  • evidence of cost or purchase price alone is insufficient
  • “[Ujnexplained possession of recently stolen goods is not sufficient in itself to authorize a conviction for receiving stolen goods, but ... such possession may be used in conjunction with other evidence ... to infer the knowledge required by the statute.” (emphasis added)
