Description
The United States brought this action under 27 U.S.C.A. Γ§ 224, for the forfeiture of a 1942 Ford automobile owned by James R. Leach and upon which the claimant, Interstate Securities Company, held a chattel mortgage. Leach defaulted, but the claimant sought remission of the forfeiture under 18 U.S.C.A.Γ§ 646. The trial court found that Leach had used the automobile involved to transport intoxicating liquor from the State of Missouri into the State of Oklahoma; that Leach had a reputation with members of the Tulsa Police Department for dealing in intoxicating liquors and the Alcohol Tax Unit at Tulsa, and denied remission or mitigation because claimant admittedly failed to make inquiry of the designated law enforcement officers concerning Leachs "record or reputation" for violation of State and Federal liquor laws, as required by 18 U.S.C.A. Γ§ 646. On appeal claimant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial courts finding to the effect that the automobile involved was used to transport intoxicating liquor into Oklahoma, and in the alternative contends that Leach had no "liquor record or reputation" within the context and meaning of the statute.
