Intent to Defraud Is
Upheld.

David Lamar. convicted in the New
York federal courts on charges of Inn

appeal in the Supreme Court of the

government Of the United States" with
intent to defraud Lewis Cass Ledyard

Basis Of Lamar's Appeal.
Lamar's appeal was based largely on
the claim that a representative in Con-
gress IL not an officer of the Unitsd
States. Justice Holmes. in announcin~
the courts decision today, held that ~
was not necessary for the officer to be
an officer of the United States in the
sense IN which that term was used in
the Constitution. because even in thu
same statute words and phrases might
have a different meaning.
Lamar listened to Justice Holmes an

accepted the privilege extended to ali
Htigants before the court Of sitting
