Court of Appeals, tho Supreme Court immediately after the consumption of
yesterday held, in an opinion by Jus-
tice Williams, that the control of the
Interstate commerce laws over an In-
terstate shipment of liquor ends with
the delivery by the carrier to the
consignee.
The opinion was handed down In
a case appealed from the County
Court of Oklahoma County on an
agreed statement of facts, In which
B. W. Tucker, who had shipped a
carload of beer Into Oklahoma City
and was selling It from the car In the
Santa Fe yards. After 102 casks had
been removed, State Enforcement At-
torney F. 8. Caldwell ordered tbe
seizure of the remaining eighteen
casks, and a civil suit was brought
for their condemnation, under the
provisions of the Blllups act. The
court below, following the decisions
of the orlg'nal Court of Appeals, or-
dered the beer released, but the state
appealed and the case Is now re-
versed by the Supreme Court, which
holds that the liquor was subject to
seizure, all Justices concurring. In
Its syllabus the court says:
A citizen of Oklahoma, having pur-
chased Intoxicating liquors In another
state and caused the same to be
transported to him as consignee in
the delivery by tbe carrier to the
consignee.
Such consignee having received tho
actual and exclusive possession of
such liquors from the carrier at its
depot and retaining such possession
on its said premises with the purpose
and intention ot 'bartering the same
contrary to the laws of the state,
such liquors may be seized and coa-
fiscated under Sec. 5 and 6 of the
enforcing act, before the same have
been by said consignee conveyed from
the carrier's premises to the con-
signee's residfeu'ee, place of business
or warehouse.
Such consignee having received the
actual and exclusive possession of
such liquors from tho carrier at Its
depot, and retaining such possession
on its premises for his or his family's
use, such liquors can not be seized
and confiscated under See. 5 and <
of the enforcing act.
