Matthew Britt Porter v. United States, 338 F.2d 53 (5th Cir. 1964)

Matthew Britt Porter v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In his appeal from a conviction for the sale of non-tax-paid spirits, the only material point urged as error is the refusal of the district court to strike evidence of admission by the appellant of his prior activities in moonshining operations. The evidence was admissible under the rule announced in Smith v. United States, 9th Cir. 1930, 41 F.2d 215. See Barshop v. United States, 5th Cir. 1951, 191 F.2d 286, reh. den. 192 F.2d 699, cert. den. 342 U.S. 920, 72 S.Ct. 367, 96 L.Ed. 688. The judgment of the district court is

Affirmed.
