Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

Decided November 27, 1939No. 7024Published

1Per curiam

This appeal is without merit. See United States v. Lehigh Valley R. Co., 3 Cir., 204 F. 705. The Government failed to prove its case. In this connection we note that the suit was instituted on February 7, 1933, but was not tried until November 23, 1938, over five and a half years later.

Affirmed.
