Opinion of the Court
Appellant was convicted on three counts of an indictment drawn under 19 USCA § 1593 (b), of fraudulently and knowingly importing intoxicating liquor into the United States. He was also convicted and sentenced separately on another count charging him with transporting the same liquor in violation of the National Prohibition Act (27 US CA § 1 et seq.).
