Parties | Ex parte CARLL, Petitioner |
Decision Date | 15 January 1883 |
Court | United States Supreme Court |
A. J. Dittenhoefer, for petitioner.
This application is denied. We have had occasion to say at the present term, in Ex parte Curtis, ante, 381, that This rule is well settled. Ex parte Lange, 18 Wall. 163; Ex parte Rowland, 104 U. S. 604. The grounds of the present application, as stated in the petition, are, that the circuit court had no jurisdiction to try the prisoner for the offense of which he has been convicted and to commit him to prison therefor, because (1) the instruments described in the indictment and charged to have been forged show on their face that they are not bonds or obligations of the United States, and, even if genuine, possessed no validity; and (2) it was conceded on the trial that the instruments set forth in the indictment were genuine registered bonds, and that the forgery complained of consisted in erasing the name of the original payee and substituting that of the prisoner.
All the bonds described in the indictment, except that in the third count, purported to have been issued under the act of July 14, 1870, c. 256, as amended by the act of January 20, 1871, c. 23. This act provides for an issue of bonds by the secretary of the treasury 'in such form as he may prescribe.' The bonds now in question appear to be signed by the register of the treasury and not by the secretary. They also have the 'imprint and impression of the seal of the department of the treasury of the United States.' In the indictment it is averred that the counterfeits were of bonds of the United States. This is enough for the purposes of the jurisdiction of the circuit court. Whether the bonds counterfeited are in the form of those actually issued by the secretary of the treasury under the authority of the act referred to, is a question of fact to be established on the trial. Errors committed on the trial of this issue do not deprive the court of its power to imprison upon conviction, and, as has been seen, such errors are not subject to correction here, either in the present form of proceeding or any other. What has just been said applies equally...
