Kathriner v. United States
Decision Date | 05 December 1921 |
Docket Number | 3637. |
Citation | 276 F. 808 |
Parties | KATHRINER et al. v. UNITED STATES. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Ninth Circuit |
Frank J. Hennessy, of San Francisco, Cal., for plaintiffs in error.
John T Williams, U.S. Atty., of San Mateo, Cal., and Thomas J Sheridan, Asst. U.S. Atty., of San Francisco, Cal.
Before GILBERT, ROSS, and HUNT, Circuit Judges.
The plaintiffs in error were convicted and sentenced under count 1 of an information filed against them, charging a violation of the National Prohibition Act (41 Stat. 305). One of the specifications of error relied upon is that the court erred in denying their motion for a directed verdict of not guilty on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to show that they had committed any offense. In their brief regarding that matter they say that the officers of the government--
'entered the soft drink parlor of the defendants, and without a warrant or process of any kind jumped over the bar and made a search, seizing a small quantity of liquor behind the bar.'
A few extracts from the testimony of one of the government officers will be enough to dispose of that assignment of error. Said that witness:
After stating that the place was at 1123 Folsom street, and being asked concerning the conversation had at the time, the witness said:
'Mr. Kathriner says, 'You can't arrest us;' and Mr. Hanley says, 'Why?' and he said, 'I am paying for protection to do this kind of business."
The witness further testified:
'They had another pitcher with liquor in it, but they beat me to it and dumped it; they had a sink full of creosote, and they dumped it in it.'
The witness further stated that he was at the same place again at 3:30 of the same day, when both of the plaintiffs in error were there, and, being asked whether he had had any further conversation regarding the matter, answered:
