281 A.2d 293 (1971)

Clarence WILLIAMS, Jr., Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided September 22, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert F. Steeves, Washington, D. C., appointed by this court, for appellant.

Raymond Banoun, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Thomas A. Flannery, U. S. Atty., and John A. Terry, Asst. U. S. Atty., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before HOOD, Chief Judge, and GALLAGHER and NEBEKER, Associate Judges.


GALLAGHER, Associate Judge:

Appellant was convicted of receiving stolen property in violation of D.C.Code 1967, § 22-2205. On appeal, he contends the Government failed to establish the essential elements of knowledge of the property's stolen nature and a fraudulent intention to deprive the true owner of possession. He argues, principally, that his motion for judgment of acquittal should have been granted at the close of the Government's case. We disagree.
