Vase Calvin Valrie v. United States
Opinion
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
The points on telephone eavesdropping are controlled by Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 48 S.Ct. 564, 72 L.Ed. 944; Wilson v. United States, 9 Cir., 316 F.2d 212; and McClure v. United States, 9 Cir., 332 F.2d 19, cert. den., 380 U.S. 945, 85 S.Ct. 1027, 13 L.Ed. 2d 963; Cf. Rathbun v. United States, 355 U.S. 107, 78 S.Ct. 161, 2 L.Ed.2d 134.
We find the evidence sufficient in this narcotics case to sustain a conviction. *188 It is true the case was not airtight and a court, within the limits of intellectual honesty, might have found Valrie not guilty. But on the facts here, it had a right to find guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This it did.
