Description
Benjamin F. Goodman and Abraham Hart were convicted in the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania upon an indictment which in its first count charged them and others with devising a scheme to defraud the Chase National Bank of the City of New York, the National Silver Company, the South Philadelphia National Bank, and others unknown. The scheme alleged was to obtain forged checks purporting to be drawn by the National Silver Company upon the Chase National Bank of the City of New York, to secure introductions to Philadelphia banking institutions and to open accounts therein in which the forged checks would be deposited, to procure the collection of the forged checks by the banks in which they were deposited and then to withdraw the money thus obtained. It was alleged to be a part of the scheme that the forged checks would be forwarded from the Philadelphia banks, in which they were deposited to the Chase National Bank of the City of New York by means of the Post Office Establishment of the United States, the "defendants well knowing the customs and usages of the local bank of deposit in forwarding said * * * ecks * * * to the foreign bank by means of the Post Office Establishment of the United States and intending that said * * * checks * * * would be transmitted through the mails as aforesaid." The second count of the indictment charged the defendants with having conspired to use to mails of the United States in execution of the scheme to defraud charged in the first count and with having conspired to carry out the said scheme. Motions in arrest of judgment and for a new trial were refused by the District Court, whereupon Goodman alone took the present appeal.
