Opinion

No. 5255.

October 16, 1944.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Western District of South Carolina, at Greenville; Charles Cecil Wyche, Judge.

D.W. Galloway, of Spartanburg, S.C., for appellant.

Oscar H. Doyle, U.S. Atty., of Anderson, S.C. (Wendell M. Walters, Asst. U.S. Atty., of Anderson, S.C., on the brief), for appellee.

Before PARKER, SOPER, and NORTHCOTT, Circuit Judges.


Appellant was convicted with others of the crime of illicit distilling; and the sole question presented by the appeal is whether there was sufficient evidence of guilt on his part to take the case to the jury. For reasons adequately set forth in the opinion of the District Judge denying appellant's motion for a new trial, we think that the evidence was sufficient.

Affirmed.
