United States v. One Dodge Sedan

BOURQUIN, District Judge.

This is a libel to forfeit the respondent, for that, as alleged, it was used to remove, conceal, and deposit Ng Ka Py liquor with intent to defraud the plaintiff of taxes thereon imposed, due and unpaid.

The evidence is that in June, 1927, federal prohibition agents apprehended the respondent with three other autos. The latter vehicles were loaded with smuggled Ng Ka Py whisky and other intoxicating liquors. No tax stamps appeared thereon. The former conveyance was the armed convoy, or pilot and guard, of the others, but itself contained none of said liquors.
