Ryland v. United States
Ryland v. United States
Opinion of the Court
Charged with criminal contempt in violating an injunction issued out of the United States District Court, on the complaint of the United States that he was violating Maximum Price Regulation 540, as amended, in respect of the sale of used passenger automobiles, defendant was tried to the court, convicted, and given a single sentence on all the counts of four months in jail. He is here seeking a reversal, claiming: (1) That the court erred in denying his motion to postpone the trial for additional time to prepare for it; and (2) that the evidence was insufficient to support the finding that he was guilty as charged.
As to the sufficiency of the evidence, it is true that appellant’s testimony was not accepted, but it is also true that the record teems with evidence in contradiction of his testimony.
We find no error in the judgment. It is affirmed.
