Reid v. United States
Opinion of the Court
Charged by indictment with conspiring with others named and unnamed to violate Title III, Sec. 2(a) of the Second War Powers Act, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix,
The United States, in its brief, while pointing to no other facts than those referred to by appellant, vigorously insists that they are sufficient to sustain the verdict.
We do not think so. A careful examination of the record convinces us that appellant is right in his claim that the circumstances set out in his brief are the only ones dealing with or touching on him, and that he is also right in his contention that these circumstances are not sufficient to sustain the verdict. -
The judgment is, therefore, reversed and the cause is remanded for further and not inconsistent proceedings.
