VAN DUSEN, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I agree with the opinion of Judge Green and the result it reaches, but, in view of the preparation of this pro se complaint by a layman-prisoner,1 the second full sentence on page 2 of the majority opinion, and the complaint’s reliance on 18 U.S.C. § 241,2 I believe the allegation that Genakos and Frank “did willfully and knowingly with malice aforethough[t] conspire with George Koelzer to commit the above mention [ed] criminal acts” is also significant. See Griffin v. Breckenridge, 403 U.S. 88, 102, 91 S.Ct. 1790, 29 L.Ed.2d 338 (1971); Richardson v. Miller, 446 F.2d 1247, 1249 (3d Cir. 1971).
Circuit Judge BIGGS concurs in the views expressed in District Judge GREEN’s opinion and also in those expressed in Circuit Judge VAN DUSEN’s opinion.

. Sec Richardson v. Miller, 446 F.2d 3247, 324,8 (3d Cir. 3971).

. 18 U.S.C. § 241 contains this wording:
“If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; . . .
*****
“They shall be fined ... or imprisoned ... or both; . . .
Cf. 42 U.S.C. § 1985.
