U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided March 19, 1969 · Madden, Claims, Merrill, Browning
407 F.2d 852 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Robert John L. Harvill v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant stands convicted of the theft of a case of cigarettes from an interstate shipment. He contends that no evidence connects the cigarettes traced to him with those that were stolen.

We disagree. The evidence is clear that cigarettes sold by appellant to a friend were from an interstate shipment destined for an Air Force base. Circumstantial evidence supports the conclusion that appellant was the thief.

Judgment affirmed.
