Morris v. United States
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
In Error to the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Texas.
1Opinion of the Court
PARDEE, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiff in error, O. M. Morris, prosecutes this writ for the reversal of a verdict and judgment rendered against him upon an indictment charging him with carrying on the business of a retail liquor dealer without first having paid the special tax required by law. The errors assigned, some 18 in number, are based upon the rulings of the court on motions to quash demurrers to the indictment, in regard to the admission of evidence, and on refusals to give certain special instructions to the jury as requested.
