General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Kramer v. United States, 245 U.S. 478 (1918)
Kramer v. United States No. 680 Argued December 13, 14, 1917 Decided January 14, 1918 245 U.S. 478
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
After an examination of the entire record, the Court finds no merit in the contention that the case should have been withheld from the jury for want of evidence tending to show the accused guilty of the crime charged -- a conspiracy (with overt acts) to violate the Selective Draft Law, by dissuading persons from registering.
As to other questions, the case is indistinguishable from Goldman v. United States, ante,474, and is decided on the authority of that case and the Selective Draft Law cases, ante,366.
Affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
