State v. Thompson
Oregon Supreme Court
240 Or. 468, 402 P.2d 243 (1965)
Facts
James Dale Thompson (defendant) purchased a car with a bogus check and used a false name on a conditional sales contract, upon which no payments were made. Thompson was convicted of larceny by trick. Thompson appealed, asserting he acquired title to the car and thus could be guilty of obtaining property by false pretenses, but not larceny by trick. The Oregon Supreme Court granted certiorari.
