�In Re:
Information in Conmonweal.th vs One Ford Touring Car.
Engine No. 3937~~ irginia 1923, License No.5O593.

The answer of Arthur G. Stiokley to an information filed
in the Cirouit Court of Rookingham County by D.

w.

Earman, Com-

monweal. th• s Attorney, of said County, for the purpose of having
the

Court adjudge one Ford Touring Car, Engine No. 3937842,

Virginia 1923, Lioense

No.f"/Jfytf forfeited

to the Commonweal.th

of Virginia for violation of Chapter 388 of the Acts of· Assembly
of 1918, as amended;
This Respondent reserving to himelf the benefit of all
exceptions to the said info.rmat ion, for answer thereto, or to suoh
parts t hereof, as he is ad vised it is material f'or him to answer,
answering says;
- That Respondent lives near Churohville,on his farm, in
Augusta County, Virginia, and is the owner of said oar; that one
R~mond H. Armstro.ng and his wife are employed by Respondent on
-

~ "£iv_

Armstrong borrowed the

his said farm; that the said Raymond

~OVU-

A

oar

to take his wife to the horm o-f her father near Montevideo, in
Rockingham County, and state aforesaid; that respondent answering
on information alone, is advised that at the time of the seizure
of the said ear in Harrisonburg, on to-wit, June 2nd 1923, the.
said Raymond H. Armstrong, to whom respondent had loe.ned his oar
had on his peraa-n or in said 0-ar a small quantity of ardent
spirits; that respondent knew nothing of the ardent spirits be mg
in the oar or in the possession of the said Arm trong, or that. he
oontempla.ted transporting in said oar or otherwise any ardent
spirits, nor did he have any reason to suspeot that the said
Armstrong was oonveying or would convey liquor in respondent' a
said oar.

On the contrary respondent had every reason to believe

that said Armstrong, who ha~ been working for respondent for some

��months, and who was sober and industri ous, and was not addioted
to the -liquor habit, would not do so.
Your Respond ent denies the right of the Commonweal.th to
forfeit said oar, fo,r any violatio n of the Law on the part of
said Armstro ng, who had no interes t therein , and for a violatio n
of the said Law by him in wh ioh respond ent took no. part and of
whioh responde nt had no knowled ge;
And having fully answered respome nt prays that the said
informa tion be dismisse d;
That the said oar may be rat.urned to respond ent, free and
aoquit of all 1-iabili ty to the state of Virgini a, and that all
suoh othar and further relief be given , and that respond ent be
disnisse d with his reasonab le Qosts in this behalf expended and
he will ever pray, &amp;o.

a Notary Publio in and for atate &amp;
oer
a Arthur G. Stiekley , whose name is
attached to the f :oregoin g answer, this day appeared in person before
me in my said City and :rm.de oath that the faots stated therein of
his own knowled ge are true, and those stated on informa tion derived
from. others he believes t o be true.

��INSTRUCTION NO.
The Court instructs the jury that where the prosecutio n
relies upon circumsta ntial evidence alone for a conviction the
jury must be satisf ied beyond a rea sonable doubt that the crime
has been committed by some one in manner and form as charged in
the indictmen t and then they must not only oe satisfied that all
the ciroumstan oes proved are consisten t with the def endants
having committed the act but they must also ·be satisfied that the
facts
are such as to be inconsiste nt with any other rational
oonolusio n than that the def endants are the guilty persons. If
there is any one single fact proved to the satisfacti on o~ the jury
by a preponder ance of the evidence which is inconsiste nt with the
defendant s' guilt, this is sufficien t to raise a reasonabl e doubt,
and the jury shoula. acquit the. defendant s.

In order to justify

the inf erence o~ legal guilt f rom circumsta ntial evidence the
existence of inculpato ry facts must be absolutely inoompa~i ble with
the innocence of the accused upon any rational theory and incapable
of explanatio n upon any other reasonabl e hypothesi s than that of
t heir guilt.

Commonwealth vs.

Carper.

ME O. OF

COllllT.

are
These two case•I'\ he rd on motion of defendant in each c a se to
aet aside the verdict of pil ty and grant him a new trial, on the

ground that the evidence on which he was convicted was inadmissible
bec ause obt a ined by an illegal search, made in each instance under
an illegal search warrant.
In neither case was the affidavit upon which the search warrant
issued produced in evidence.

The warrant itself does not h ave to

show the grounds of t h e compl aint, or of affiant'e belief, so I cannot s ay whethe r the warr ants were founded on a sufficient affidavit
or not, unless it can be said that the matter appearing on the faae
of the warrants shows affirmatively that they were issued without
probable c ause.

I don't remember what the warrants show in this

respect, and for present purposes it is unimportant, because the
motion will be denied for other reasons.
In the Crawford case there is a reason for denying the motion
for a new trial that does not exist in the Carper case.

The evidence

was that as the off icers approached Crawford's house to execute the
search warrant, and 1before the house wa s entered or the warrant was
read, Crawford ran from the houae carrying a cuano sack which contained the cans or fruit j a rs of "moon sh ine" whiskey, and t hat he wa s
about to throw them down, apparently to break them, when the officers,
seeing hie moTemente and distinguishing the imprint of the jar• on the

baa, seized him and took the baa away from him; and the jars which
were in the baa, and the liquor contained in them, were the jars and
liquor produced in court.

Crawford was here violating the law in the

preaenot of the officer•,

in the unlawful po s session and transportation

of ardent spirit • , and the court is ot opinion that the violation of

I am furthe rmore of opini on, as appli cable to bo th cases
(cone iderin a the arres t or Craw ford as not justi fiabl e a • for

In the case of Gouled v. U. s., 65 L. ed. ~41, the court on
page 653 ,. deals with the question of the application of the 5th
amendment, in answer to "the fourth question."

The fourth question

as there set out reads ae follow•:
"If euoh paper•, eo taken, are admitted in
"evidence against the person from whose house or
"office they were taken, such person then being on trial

"tor the crime for
"tor warrant, --

which he was accused in the attidavit

is such admission in evidence a violation

of the Ith amendment.• -- (Italic• or under~ coring mine).
To this question the court answered as follows:
"The same papers being involved, the answer to this
"question muet be in the affirmatiTe: for, they having
"been seized in an unconstitutional aearch, to permit
"them to be used in evidence would be, in effect as
"rUled in the Boyd case, to compel the witnesa to become
•a witness against himself."
In the Gouled case, there was no search warrant at all, but
the papers were obtained by a federal officer without a aearch warrant.

It that officer was acting under an order of the court in which the
htendant was on trial at the time (and the question is predicated
upon the tact that the accused was then on trial), then the ruling
would fall within the principle atated. by Mr. Wigmore, which as he
aaya Ju•tifies as right the decision in the Boyd case, though the
ob1ttr dictwp in that case was wronc.

But it the court meant to

aay in that case that it would be in oontraTention of the 5th
amendment to admit in evidence on a trial of the accused evidence which
was obtaine4 by a search warrant which was unlawM because in violation
of the 4th amendment, concerning aearche• and seizurea, then, with
all deference to that great court, I should have to reject the authority

The court does point there to the fact that

1ec. 10 of our Constitut ion, relating to searches and seizurea, ia not
identical ly the same aa the 4th amendment, and

•1l•

it aaya the act

of 1920 relating to 1earoh warrants (Acta 1920 P• 516) puts into our
statute law much of what i s in the 4th amendment to the U.

s. Constitu-

tion, but it does not follow that the court would give to a mere
statute the construct ion that it would give to the same or a similar
provision in the Constitut ion, or that, if it were to do so, it would
adopt the c 1 tr 1ct j.on g iven by the U. s. Supreme Court to the 4th
amendment to the hderal Ccnstitut ion, a construct ion. wh ich our Court
and

many othe~s have diaa~prov ed and rejected.

It would have been e asy for the General Assembly to declare in the
Act of 1920, relating to search •arrant •, that evidence obtained under
an illegal of detective aearoh warrant 1hould not be receivabl e at the
