UNIQUE CASE N
UlIT[D STATES COURT
Greek Based Appeal In Naturaiiza-
ton Case Much Mixed Up. With
Police, On Alleged Previous Mis-
conduct OF Grand Jury.

What il the difference between in
tention papers and naturalization pa
pers?
That question figured largely in the
case of Constan II. Christopoulo, alias
Constan III. Christodouio. Greek.
who appealed to the Federal Appeal
Court here after being convicted in
Charleston, s. c., on the charge OF
misrepresenting himself as a citizen
of the United States in order TO
qualify to vote in an election in that
city
Though he had only taken out in
tention papers preliminary to having
himself declared a citizen of this
country. Christopoulo was alleged to
have represented that he had become
ratural!zed. thus enabling himself to
become enrolled as Il voter.
He based his appeal principally on
the ground that John Cart, foreman
of the grand jury which indicted him.
was disqualified for such service be-
cause of the fact that he had been
convicted of a violation of the act 10
regulate commerce.
The Appellate Court, in it's opinion
written by Judge Knapp, which at
ttnIed the Lower cnurt,hela that IN
asmuch as cart was only convicted
of n misdemeanor and had not been
disqualified as voter, there was no
reason why he should be disqualified
as grand juror.
IN it's opinion, the court commented
on the fact that the city committee
man who examined Christopoulo ad-
mitted that he himself did not. know
the difference between intention and
naturalization papers. The opinion
which vas handed down Wednesday.
received the endorsement of the other
two circuit jurists and was thus
unanimous.
