        "text": "Stacy, C. J.\nIt was in evidence that Walter Dail, the defendant herein, was at the home of Nathan B. Dail, defendant in a similar appeal, this day decided, when Sam Lougee and Lewis Powell were there trying to sell a stolen automobile; that Nathan purchased the car and immediately traded it to Walter, telling him not to drive it anywhere for about a month and not to let anyone see it. In making the trade and in order to obscure the identity of the stolen car, certain parts of defendant\u2019s machine were exchanged for similar parts on the stolen car. It is clear that Walter Dail was equally guilty with Nathan B. Dail in receiving the stolen automobile, with a felonious intent, knowing at the time that the same had been feloniously taken and carried away by Lougee and Powell. C. S., 4250.\nThe defendant\u2019s motion for judgment as of nonsuit, made first at the close of the State\u2019s evidence and renewed at the close of all the evidence, and upon which he chiefly relies, was properly overruled. The evidence was amply sufficient to carry the case to the jury. The law is well settled that where two persons aid and abet each other in the commission of a crime, both being present, both are principals and equally guilty. S. v. Hart, 186 N. C., 582; S. v. Skeen, 182 N. C., 844; S. v. Jarrell, 141 N. C., 722; S. v. Fox, 94 N. C., 928.\nIn the absence of any reversible error appearing on the record, the verdict and judgment must be upheld.\nNo error.",
