Wilfred C. Varn, U. S. Atty., F. E. Steinmeyer, III, Asst. U. S. Atty., Tallahassee, Fla., for appellee.

Before JONES, BROWN and WISDOM, Circuit Judges.


JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge.

The question here is whether the jury was adequately instructed on the permissible use of a prior inconsistent statement offered by the Government in impeachment of a key, but hostile, witness.

Slade and Conrad were jointly indicted, tried and convicted on a two-count indictment for illegal possession and removal and concealment of moonshine whiskey. 26 U.S.C.A. §§ 5008(b) (1), 5642, 5632. Only Slade appeals.
