Text: 9 The lesser included offense of assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to do bodily harm, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 113(c), contains two elements not necessarily included in the charged offense of assault resulting in serious bodily harm, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 113(f): (1) the specific intent to do bodily harm, and (2) the use of a deadly weapon. In this case, the weapon used was an axe. These additional elements were not charged in the information. Appellant claims that this constitutes a fatal lack of notice, requiring reversal or modification of the judgment by this court. 10 The issues are: (1) whether assault with a deadly weapon with intent to do bodily harm was a lesser included offense of the offense charged, and (2) whether defendant was given adequate notice that he might be convicted of that lesser offense. We conclude that the answer to both questions is affirmative.
