By an information containing three counts, Harry Coon, tbe appellant, was charged with violatiоns of tbe National Prohibition Act (27 USCA). Tbe first count charged unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor. Tbe sеcond count charged unlawful possession, of mash and a distilling apparatus designed and intended to be used in tbe unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor. Tbe third *165 count charged unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor, to wit, whisky. This is an appeal from judgments of conviction upon each of the thrеe counts of the information.
The only error assigned is the overruling of appellant’s motion tо suppress certain evidence.
At the hearing upon this motion, the appellant testified, in part, as follows: That on or about December 1, 1927, appellant leased a frame building, abоut fifteen by eighteen feet, situate on the Oldham homestead in Blaine County, Oklahoma, for the purpose of manufacturing whisky and for a home; that he placed eight barrels of mash and a whisky still in this building; that hе was engaged in making whisky at this building for a period of about two weeks; that during such period he also оccupied the building as a home; that the building was furnished with a cot, a monkey stove, two chairs, a tаble and cooking utensils.
J. B. Dowell, a prohibition enforcement officer employed in the Indian service, testified at the hearing upon this motion, in part, as follows: That on or about Decеmber 15, 1927, in company with certain state officers, he went to the Oldham homestead for the purрose of investigating violations of the National Prohibition Law; that, after investigating the filling station and the home of Mrs. Oldham, as he approached the budding leased by appellant he noticеd fumes or steam rising therefrom and could smell the odor of whisky and the odor of mash; that he went to such building and knocked on the door and received no response; that he unfastened and opened the door and saw appellant standing in the building; that in the building he found sixteen barrels, ten of which were filled with mash and six of which were partly filled with mash, one whisky still, a pressure tank and gas burner with an automоbile pump attached, and two eight gallon jars of whisky; and that the burner and still were in operation.
Dowell arrested appellant and took possession of the distilling apparatus, mash аnd other materials.
The court held that the building was rented and used as a business establishment for the purpose of manufacturing whisky; that it was not a home, and that a search warrant was not necessary to authorize a search of the premises. It is our opinion that the f aets warranted this cоnclusion. It is clear that the primary purpose, for which appellant leased the building, was to manufacture whisky. His temporary occupancy of the building was a mere incident thereto. We do not hold that, merely because one manufactures intoxicating, liquor in his home, such place may be searched without a warrant, but we do hold that the building searched cannot be regarded as appellant’s home, under the facts and circumstances presented in the instant сase.
Counsel for appellant contends that the entry and search of the building leased by аppellant was unlawful because the entry on the homestead and the search of the filling station and the home of Mrs. Oldham were unlawful.
Immunity from unreasonable search, guaranteed by the Fourth Amеndment, is a personal right. The legality of the search of premises can be raised only by the оwner, lessee or lawful occupant of the premises searched; that is, by the person whose rights have been invaded. The inhibition against the introduction of evidence secured by unlawful search is for the benefit of the person whose rights have been invaded and not one who has suffered no wrong. The entry on to the homestead and the search of the filling station and the home of Mrs. Old-hаm violated no constitutional right of the appellant, because the privacy of his home was not thereby invaded and disturbed. He could not claim for himself the benefit of immunity from unreasonable search, guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, when its violation, if any, was with reference to the rights of another. Graham v. United States (C. C. A. 8)
Hence, if we assume that the entry on to the homestead and the search of the filling station and the home of Mrs. Oldham by the officers were illegal, such officers thereby invaded no right of the appellant, as his ownership of the premises was limited to the small budding wherе the distilling apparatus was located and which appellant had leased from Mrs. Oldham.
It follоws that the aets of the officers, which preceded the discovery of the offense being committed by appellant, in no wise affected the legality of the arrest of appellant and the search of appellant’s premises and the seizure of his property.
The judgment is affirmed.
