No. 8980.

324 F.2d 41 (1963)

UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Charles Wayne BROWN and James Louis Brown, Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.

Decided November 4, 1963.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

R. A. Collier and Jack R. Harris, Statesville, N. C. (Collier, Harris & Collier, Statesville, N. C., on brief), for appellants.

James O. Israel, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty. (William Medford, U. S. Atty., and Robert J. Robinson, Asst. U. S. Atty., on brief), for appellee.

Before BRYAN and BELL, Circuit Judges, and WINTER, District Judge.


ALBERT V. BRYAN, Circuit Judge.

"Possession of distilled spirits", as denounced in 26 U.S.C. 5205(a) (2),1 was not defined in the charge of the District Court to the jury, Charles Wayne Brown and James Louis Brown now assert in this appeal from their conviction for violating the statute. This assignment of error we find factually accurate, but we do not think it is ground for reversal under the circumstances.
