Morehead Triad Case Overruled by Bourquin
The U S Supreme Court yesterday handed down a decision affecting land office regulations and ruled that Jesse T Morehead of Chinook must stand trial in local federal court on an indictment charging subornation of perjury in submitting a false affidavit to the Havre land office. The indictment alleges Morehead solicited soldiers to file on government lands and then secured affidavits they intended to use for their own benefit, planning to sell their relinquishments after the first year. Judge Bourquin, in a prior Butte ruling, held affidavits by old soldiers were merely land office regulations and not a crime, a decision the government appealed to the Supreme Court.
