The brief was filed in an appeal by the Government at- tacking the decision of the Circdit Court of Appeais that Alfred E. Norris, a New York banker, was not guilty of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law in having liquor shipped to him by Joel 0. Kerper from Philadelphia. The Circuit Court of Appeals had held that the purchase of liquor was not an offense and that the transportation was merely an incident of the purchase. Mitchell contended that when the bootlegger delivers liquor to an express company, as in the Nor- ris case, and the purchaser causes its shipment and delivery to him, there is illegal transportation for which the purchaser is equally guilty with the seller.
