United States v. Raybon

368 F.2d 321, 1966 U.S. App. LEXIS 4559

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal arises out of the forfeiture of an automobile allegedly used in the illicit whisky business. The question tendered is one of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the inference that the cases observed by the agents as they were unloaded from the automobile were the, same cases containing gallon jars later found at the still at the other end of the path from the unloading site. After the unloading, one of the men was observed carrying two of the cases into the woods along the path that led to the still.

While the testimony showed that the still could be reached by another path, the whole record abundantly justifies the inference that the cases of glass jars at the still site were four of the six cases which the agents saw being unloaded from the automobile.

Affirmed.
