Description
Appellants, Dennis S. Jordan and Clyde H. Smith, appeal their convictions of conspiracy to defraud the United States, 18 U.S.C. § 371.1 The appellants contend that the evidence at the jury trial was insufficient to establish that either of them was engaged in a conspiracy. We affirm the conviction of Clyde Smith, but reverse the conviction of Dennis Jordan. At the time of the trial Clyde Smith had been owner of Smith Brothers Dairy, a wholesale distributor of Barber Milk Products in Bullock County, Alabama, for thirty-one years. The dairy had delivered milk products to the Bullock County schools for all of the thirty-one years and had delivered milk to the South Highlands Middle School in Union Springs, Alabama, where James E. Price was principal, for the previous fifteen years. Dennis Jordan was employed by the dairy where he performed general office duties in 1974 and later assumed delivery duties and became the general manager of the dairy.
