United States of America, and v. Claud Mason Kelly
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided February 22, 1971 · Chambers, Wright, Kilkenny
435 F.2d 1288 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States of America, and v. Claud Mason Kelly

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.

The stolen trailer, not self propelled, we hold could be “goods, wares, merchandise” under 18 U.S.C. § 2314, and that the court was justified in advising the jury that the trailer qualified under the section.

There was some improper hearsay admitted, but the proof was so overwhelming that we find the error was of no consequence.

Other points we have examined and find without merit.

The mandate will go down forthwith.
