LAMAR, THE WOLF
MUST GO TO PRISON
Loses Appeal on Conviction for
1mpersOnating Federal
Official.
HAS TWO YEARS TO SERVE

wAsHINGToN. Jan. 3i.--The Supreme
Court decided to-day that David Lamar.
"the wolf OF Wall Street" must serve
two years in the Atlanta Federal prison
under the sentence of the Federal court
for the Southern District Of New York.
Lamar was In the court room when
the opinion was read by Justice Holmes,
IN which the whole court concurred.
lIe was convicted on an Indictment
charging him with violation OF Fed
eral statute by impersonating an OIL
GER of the Government whit intent TO
defraud Thirty DAYS of liberty are
left TO him before he begins serving the
sentence The thirty DAYS must expire
before the mandate OF the Supreme
Court viii go to the court below. Lamar
now is out on bail.
The fact that Lamar was busy taxi
ing notes ON the opinion this afternoon
indicates that he will ask for a rehear-
ing. He has until the expiration of
the present term to apply for a rchcar-
ing, but this will not delay the carry
ing out OF the sentence.
The opinion of Justice Holmes reads
In part:
The plaintiff in error was tried and
convicted upon an indictment charging
him with having falsely pretended to be
an officer OF the Government OF the
United States to wit a member OF
the House of Representatives that Is to
say \. Mitchell Palmer. member of
Congress. with intent to defraud j. =.
Morgan Co. and the United States
Steel Corporation. The case Is brought
here directly on the ground tina, the
court had no jurisdiction because the
indictment does not charge "a crime
against the United States and that the
Interpretation of the Constitution was
involved in the decision that a Con-
, gressman Is an officer OF the United
states. There are subsidiary objec-
tons stated as constitutional that the
Indictment is insufficient and that E.;
