To reverse conviction on three counts, (a) unlawful possession of intoxicating liquors, (b) unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquors, (e) unlawful possession of a still and equipment designed for the manufacture of intoxicating liquors, this appeal is prosecuted. The issue is presented on denial of a motion for directed verdict.
In consideration of the evidence on a motion for a directed verdict, the evidence-must be considered in its most favorable aspect to the appellee. United States v. Scarborough (C. C. A.) 57 F.(2d) 137; Knable v. United States (C. C. A.) 9 F.(2d) 567; see, also, Burton v. United States, 202 U. S. 344, 26 S. Ct. 688, 50 L. Ed. 1057, 6 Ann. Cas. 362; Kelly v. United States (C. C. A.) 258 F. 392. If there is substantial evidence it must be submitted to the jury, whose function it is to consider and weigh it, and this includes credibility of witnesses. Montana Tonopah Mining Co. v. Dunlap (C. C. A.) 196 F. 612; United States v. Burke (C. C. A.) 50 F.(2d) 653; United States v. Lesher (C. C. A.) 59 F.(2d) 53; Toledo, St. L. & W. R. Co. v. Howe (C. C. A.) 191 F. 776; Woodward v. Atlantic Coast Line R. R. (C. C. A.) 57 F.(2d) 1019; Engstrom v. De Witt (C. C. A.) 58 F.(2d) 137.
The record not only shows there is substantial evidence to sustain the charges, but tended to show that defendant aided and abetted others in the offenses on which defendant is convicted, and that defendant engaged with others in a common conspiracy to do such acts and in either ease each of the parties so engaged is guilty of the offenses in issue. Samich v. U. S. (C. C. A.) 22 F.(2d) 672, at page 673; Shively v. United States (C. C. A.) 299 F. 710. The common ob-
On June 2d, with a deputy sheriff, the agents went to the premises, “waited in the woods”; they saw defendant and another drive up the Marquam road in the same coupé; defendant opened the gate, and the car was driven in, and the parties were joined by Caesar. The search warrant was then executed. A 60-gallon still was found in the shed or garage, three 100-pound vats full of mash, and about eight gallons of “moonshine whisky.”
It is obvious that no error was committed in submitting this case to the jury.
Affirmed.
