James P. Edwards, Jr. v. United States

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided January 31, 1961No. 18291_1PublishedCited by 35 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

RIVES, Circuit Judge.

Edwards was charged in the same indictment with Mac T. Hall whose conviction is affirmed today. 1 While Hall was tried to the court without a jury, the judgment of conviction of Edwards was based on a jury’s verdict. Edwards was found guilty on Counts 1, 7, 8 and 9 of the indictment, and was sentenced to imprisonment for five years.

Count 1 has been described in our opinion in the Hall case. Counts 7, 8 and 9 were in all respects similar to Counts 10, 11 and 12 described in the Hall case, except that the drafts described were different and were drawn by Edwards.
