The following excerpt is from United States v. Schultz, 462 F.2d 622 (9th Cir. 1972):
Schultz argues that the evidence failed to demonstrate his knowledge that the checks had been stolen. The argument has two thrusts. He first contends that the government must prove that he knew the checks had been taken from the mails, not merely that they had been stolen from some unspecified source. We have recently rejected this interpretation of the statute. United States v. Gardner, 454 F.2d 534, 535 (9th Cir. 1972).
