416 F.2d 969 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. Carl Spangler

Opinion

DECISION

PER CURIAM.

The judgment appealed from is reversed. The question of proof of possession is a close one, but we find it falls a little short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, resolving here, of course, all inferences in favor of the government.

It would appear that the indictment should be dismissed.
