Clark v. United States

Opinion of the Court

BATTS, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff in error was convicted under the act of Congress of February 14, 1917, for the use of the following language, alleged by the indictment to have been with reference to the President:

“Wilson is a wooden-headed son of a bitch. I wish Wilson was in hell, and if I had the power I would put him there.”

A motion to quash the indictment was properly overruled. United States v. Stickrath (D. C.) 242 Fed. 151.

The judgment is affirmed.
