Herold Motor Car Co. v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Dietzman

Reversing-

The commonwealth instituted these proceedings to forfeit and sell, pursuant to section 2554a-12 of the Statutes, a Reo truck owned by Thomas Newcomb and used by him in the illicit whisky traffic. The appellant intervened claiming a valid recorded lien against the truck and asserting its ignorance of Newcomb’s use of the machine in the traffic mentioned.
