Description
The defendant was convicted on an indictment of two counts. Count One charged an unlawful purchase of a certain quantity of heroin, a derivative of opium, and of a certain quantity of cocaine, a derivative of coca leaves. Count Two charged that the defendant fraudulently and knowingly received, concealed, bought, and facilitated the transportation and concealment after importation of the narcotic drugs referred to in Count One. Count One charges a crime under 26 U.S.C.A. § 2553(a); Count Two, under 21 U.S.C.A. § 174. The date in each count was December 15, 1947, and the venue alleged was Chicago in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. On the defendants waiver of a jury trial, the case was tried by the court. The Government successfully proved that the defendant on December 15, 1947, possessed the narcotic drugs named in the indictment at 2358 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, and that he had purchased these drugs. At the conclusion of all the evidence, the defendant made a motion for acquittal which was denied. The court found the defendant guilty and sentenced him to a term of five years. From this finding and judgment, the defendant has appealed.
