der the more drastic provisions of
the internal revenue laws in cases
where the persons involved have

biles owned by innocent persons
after the nonowner drivers have
been arrested under the Volstead
act
The less severe Volstead act con-
fiScation clause which allows an
owner to recover an automobile if
he can prove his innocence, must
be used when the arrest of the pas
sengerS is for a Volstead act vio-
lation.

Inc, Fresno. Cal, appealed these
cases involving a principle of great

lost the car after the driver pleaded
guilty to carrying liquor in it.

eminent charged the driver, who
had borrowed the car from an in
stallment plan purchaser, with vio-
lation of the Volstead act, but
