TIE COURTS.
United States Circuit Court.
Before Judge Nelson.

Before Judge Nelson.] M
United States VS.. Synder q Bertram.
The prisoners, Snyder & Bertram, were ar
rested on complaint by the United States dis
trict attorney, stating under oath "That Sny-
der & Bertram, the said Snyder being post.
master, did unlawfully and knowingly make
to the auditor of the United States for the
postoffice department in said Snyder's
name a false return \
for the purpose of fraudulently increasing
his compensation as such post
master under the provisions Of the act of con-
gress approved June 80, 1879"
The act referred to declares "that the post
master making false return shall be deemed
guilty of a mIsdemeanor, and on conviction
punished, ETC."
An application is made for the discharge
of Bertram, who 1t is admitted is not post
master.
The theory upon which Bertram was arrest
ed is that he procured and aided the post
master in the commission Of the offense, and
is punishable under the statnte.
The defendants counsel insists that no per-
son but the postmaster can commit the acts
made criminal by the statute and
be punished under it. The general doctrine
that in misdemeanors all connected with the
offense are principals is conceded, but 1t is
urged that Inc pOllcy OF congress III respect W
the postal system, as shown by the numerous
laws creating offenses, wou1 limit the offense,
and the punishments affixed in this statute. to
the postmaster. l cannot assent to this view
of the law. The act of the postmaster be ing
declared misdemeanor by the statute, it was
evidently the intention of congress to make it
so for all purposes.
An employe of the postmaster or person
not connected with that Office, has no right to
procure or aid the commission Of this ofense,
and it is not reasonable to suppose congress
intended to change the general principle of the
law. If it had been enacted that the postmas-
ter who made false return should be guilty
of felony, the new felony created by the stat
ute has all the incidents it would have at CON-
mon law and are accessory before the fact
could be punished, though the act be silent as
to abettors and accessories, why not the pro-
curer and alder here? The argument that the
procurer and alder should escape the punish
ment affixed in the statute which declares the
act misdemeanor does not commend itself to
any judgment.
