Stat., § 1649, which provides that when mortgaged personal property is removed from the county, it is, except as between the parties, exempted from the operation of the mortgage, unless, within thirty days after such removal, the mortgage is recorded in the county to which the property has been taken, one who acquires such property more than thirty days after its removal to another county is entitled to the possession thereof, when the mortgage had not been recorded in such county, although such subsequent purchaser had knowledge of the incumbrance and the property had been removed from the county of its location when mortgaged without the knowledge or consent of the mortgagee.</p>
