THE ,uoo sxroa1O. CASE.

Charge Given ny the Court - the Jury.
The following is the charge given to-day
by Chief Justice Shannon to the jury In the
case Of the United States against Human N.
Judd, tried for extortion, while register Of
the Springfield land office;
CHARGE TO THE
Congress has enacted a law to protect citi.
zens from extortion by officers Of the United
Statcs.
1t is that every officer of the United
States who is guilty Of extortion under color
Of his Office, shall be punished by . fine of
not more THAI five hundred dollars, or by
imprisonment not more than n year. etc.
Now. what is meant by the words 'color
of office
The work "%color" as here used, means
pretense, or semblance, or appearance.
Aud color of Office. therefore means q
pre,ense of official right, by an officer, TO do
an act..whcn he has no such right.
Extortion is, then, the unlawful taking by
an officer Of the United States, by color Of
his office, Of any money or thing of value,
that is not due to him, or more than is due,
or before it is due.
That is to say, extortion is the unlawful
taking, by any such officer, by pretense OF
his official right, of any money that is not
due to him, or of any money more than ia
due to him. or Of any money before it is
due.
You must therefore be satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt, that the defendant as an
officer of the United States, unlawfnlly took
the money, BY a pretense of his official
right.
Did he take any money as alleged by the
witness for the prosecution? II 80, how
much? And WAS such taking, if any, un.
der any pretense of his official right?
What were the acts, and words. aud con-
duct of the defendant at the time Of such
taking-and did they amount to a pretense
of any official right to take the money. II
there was 10 such pretense, by the defend
ant, at the time Of the taking. of any official
right, then it would not be extortion.
You are the exclusive judges of the facts.
The defendant is presumed to be innocent
until the contrary is proved aud in case of
a reasonable doubt as to whether his guilt
is satisfactorily shown, he is entitled to be
acquitted. The doubt must be reasonable,
and deducible from the evidence.
