43 F.2d 360; 1930 U.S. App. LEXIS 3894 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Byron v. United States

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We do not think that the transaction involved in this ease amounted to a transportation of intoxicating liquor within the meaning and intent of the National Prohibition Act (27 USCA). Hill v. State, 96 Tex. Cr. R. 165, 256 S. W. 921; Warren v. State, 94 Tex. Cr. R. 243, 250 S. W. 429; Locke v. City of Ft. Smith, 155 Ark. 158, 244 S. W. 11; 33 C. J. 582; Thorpe on Prohibition ■218.' There was error, therefore, in the charge of the learned trial judge, and the defendant is entitled to a new trial.

Reversed.
