Before CHAMBERS and DUNIWAY, Circuit Judges, and VON DER HEYDT,fn*District Judge.
This was a border crossing case with a rubber contraption containing narcotics which defendant had swallowed, lodging in the stomach. The package was retrieved by causing an emetic to be given to Arciniaga.
We have had a number of alimentary canal cases involving narcotics. Some of them are:
Blackford v. United States, 9 Cir.,247 F.2d 745, cert. denied356 U.S. 914, 78 S.Ct. 672, 2 L.Ed.2d 586.
Blefare v. United States, 9 Cir.,362 F.2d 870.
Rivas v. United States, 9 Cir.,368 F.2d 703.
Henderson v. United States, 9 Cir.,390 F.2d 805.
Huguez v. United States, 9 Cir.,406 F.2d 366, decided Sept. 30, 1968.
We find this one closest to Rivas.
Other points asserted we find without merit.Page 514
