seizure and confiscation of vehicles of persons who aided and assisted in the illegal transportation of intoxicating liquors. 30 Am J
Rev ed. Intox L § 481.
AID AND COMFORT: Help; assistance; encouragement; counsel. An element of the crime of treason. One gives aid and comfort to
the enemy where he commits an overt act which, in its natural consequence, if successful, would encourage and advance the interests
of the enemy. Young v United States, 97 US 39, 24 L Ed 992; 52 Am J1st Treas § 9. The term "aid and comfort" contemplates some
kind of affirmative action, deed, or physical activity tending to strengthen the enemy or weaken the power to resist him, and is not
satisfied by a mere mental operation. Cramer v United States, 325 US 11 89 L Ed 1441, 65 S Ct 918, Kawakita v United States, 343

CONCEAL: To keep facts secret or withhold them from the knowledge of another; to hide or secrete physical objects from sight or
observation. Gerry v Dunham, 57 Me 334, 339. As the word appears in a statute prescribing a ground for attachment, to "conceal"
property is to hide it or put it where an officer of the law will be unable to find it. 6 Am J2d Attach § 236. Aa used in a statute against
concealing stolen goods, knowing them to have been stoIen, to "conceal" means to secrete with intent to deprive the owner of his
property. Bailey v State, 115 Neb 77, 80, 211 NW 200. For the purposes of the Bankruptcy Act, to "conceal" means to secrete, falsify,
and mutilate. Bankr Act § 1(7); l l USC § 1(7). The criminal offense of concealment of property belonging to the estate of a bankrupt
is not limited to physical secretion, but includes the preventing of discovery by the withholding of knowledge through refusing to
divulge information as to the location of the property. 9 Am J2d Bankr § 1715. For some purposes, as in the case of executing process
in a claim and delivery action, to refuse the demand of an officer holding process for the properly in suit is to "conceal" it. State v

CONCESSI: I have granted. The word is a technical one which was used in conveyancing. It had the same meaning and use as the
word "demisi," I have demised, and if a grantor used it in a lease for years, it implied a covenant that if the assignee of the lessee be
evicted, he should have a writ of covenant. Wiggins v Pender, 132 NC 628, 44 SE 362.

RE-WARD: A sum of money or other recompense offered by the government, a natural person, an association, or a corporation to the
members of the public generally, or to persons of a particular class, for the performance of a particular service, such as the finding of a
lost article of property, locating a missing person or a lost child, or the giving of information leading to the arrest of a person for a
crime recently committed, and paid to a person for the performance of such service in accord with the offer and the conditions imposed
in the offer. Zwolane v Becker Mfg. Co. 150 Wis 517, 137 NW 769.
The words "reward," and "bounty" are nearly allied in meaning. Reward is said to be the appropriate term to apply the case of a single
service, which can be only once performed, and, therefore, will be earned only by the person or co-operating persons who succeed
while others fail, while the term bounty applies where the services or action of many persons are desired and each who acts upon the
offer may entitle himself to the promised gratuity without prejudice from or to the claims of others. Ingrain v Colgan, 106 Cal 113, 39
P 437.
