1Opinion of the Court

PER CURTAM.

The indictment in this case is like that in Talkington and Bastine against the United States, 225 Fed. 367, -C. C. A. -, decided at this term. As in that, case there is a total failure of evidence to show that the defendant introduced the liquor as charged, and for that reason the demurrer to the evidence should have been sustained. The judgment is reversed.
