Judge Winslow, on motion by coun- sel, ordered a verdict of not guilty for Edward Costello. The court held that he had not been shown guilty of con- spiracy and that the most that could be sald against him was that he might have had knowledge of the alleged conspiracy. Motions to dis- miss the indictments against all the other defendants were denied. The Government had alleged that Edward Costello and his brother Frank, with Edward and Frank Kelly, also rothers, were the ‘“master minds” of a gigantic international rum-running ring that imported large quantities of intoxicants.
