Simpson v. United States

Opinion of the Court

FOSTER, Circuit Judge.

Appellant was convicted on an indictment charging him and nine other named persons with conspiring to possess, transport, and sell distilled spirits, in containers not having Internal Revenue stamps affixed thereto. The only error assigned is to the refusal of the court to direct a verdict .of acquittal. It is sufficient to say that we consider there was substantial evidence before the jury to support the verdict.

Affirmed.
