WHAT is AN OVERT ACT?

Everybody is talking about an
covert" act. What does covert" mean?
An erudite gentleman of our acquaint-
ance had the idea it was in some fan
ciful way related to the laying of an
egg, an interesting derivation when
applied to submarine discharging
torpedo, but, unfortunately for the
gentleman's erudition, he was mis-
taken.
Overt is derived from the past par
ticiple of the French verb ouvir, mean
ing "to open" An covert" act, there
fore, is an open act. The adjective,
however, in legal parlance applies
rather to the manifest intent of the
act than to the open method of its
doing.
An act done secretly may, when dis
closed, be open or manifest in its pur-
pose. This, undoubtedly, is the signi-
ficance given the word by Washing
ton. The overt act for which the coun-
try waits is one that is evident in its
intent. Obviously, where intent is
involved there is left much latitude for
