Description

These defendants, because of their reputation, having been suspected of the illegal possession and sale of whiskey, were both brought to book in the following manner: On request made by local authorities, agent Bradshaw of the State Bureau of Investigation was assigned to the task of assisting them. He repaired to Robeson County and after a conference with the principal enforcement officers, in which a plan of operation was adopted, Bradshaw, being at the time dressed in plain clothes, set out to the places of residence, or business, of each of the defendants and, separately, contacted them, without disclosing his identity and official character. He asked each defendant to sell him some whiskey; and, without further inducement, each sold to him a quantity of liquor for which he paid, tagging the purchase for use as evidence. He was afterwards reimbursed for the sum thus spent. Upon his report the indictments were brought, and in each case the defendant was convicted on his testimony. Each appealed. The exceptions discussed in this opinion were to the action of the court in overruling defendants demurrers to the evidence and motions for judgment of nonsuit, and to the specific instructions to the jury hereinafter noted.
