Stephens v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Stephens v. United States, 262 F. 957 (9th Cir. 1920)
1920 U.S. App. LEXIS 1619

Stephens v. United States

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff in error urges that the indictment “does not allege any intent whatsoever.” It is true that it does not use the word “intent,” but the allegation that defendant knowingly, willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously did attempt to pause and create insubordination and disloyalty in the military and naval forces, by doing the things charged, sufficiently charged that the altempt was done with willful and unlawful purpose.
