Burton Case Upheld by Supreme Court in Senate Pay Prosecution
The Supreme Court upheld the statute penalizing senators for accepting fees for services related to government matters. Justice Harlan delivered the majority opinion affirming a nine month jail term and $2,500 fine for Senator Burton after two counts. Dissent by Justices Brewer White and Peckham argued the Rialto Company case lacked U.S. interest. The decision maintains the law's application to Burton’s payment for aiding Rialto in blocking a post office order.
