Cite 13 F.2d 645, especially the factual findings concerning June 26, 1923.
On June 26, 1923, Lem Motlow, T. A. Heffernan, and Harry L. Dahlman sold the entire capital stock of the St. Louis-based Jack Daniel Distilling Company to Don H. Robinson and transferred the warehouse certificates for approximately 895 barrels, 69 bottled-in-bond cases, and about 40,000 gallons of whiskey.
Verified against the complete opinion transcript through the court's final holding.
The court distinguished corporate warehouse assets from whiskey Lem Motlow individually owned in Cincinnati and Birmingham. The opinion found insufficient probable cause to connect Motlow, Heffernan, or Dahlman to the later illegal removal.
The 1926 federal opinion records the corporate ownership, inventory, warehouse certificates, consideration, resignations, and reissuance of stock.
