\. O., aud convicted. The case comes be-
lore The, United States Supreme Court
PRINCIPALLY on a claim set up that the OF.
renee was cognizable in the Federal and
not Ia the State courts. II was commended
mat the United States coufts have exclu-
eivc Jurisdiction TO try the defendants for
having made the false entries on the
banks books. that the forgery of the note
was an essential element in such entries,
and that the recognition Of the right OF
the State TO try them for forgery would
defeat the jurisdiction Of the United
States 90 subsequently, try them for making
false entries-an offence over which tue
United States have exclusive jurisdiction.
The fallacy Of this argument, the Court
says. is in assuming that the making OF
the false entries necessarily involves the
crime of forgery. Either crime would
have been complete without the other.
The crime against the State could not be
condoucd by committing another and dis
tinct crime against the United States. .,
Some other minor points are also decided
against tho condemned men.
