Testimony began in Cedar Rapids federal court Monday afternoon in the case of Craig Gardner charged with three counts of possessing a firearm as a felon. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Kirshen said Gardner bought a .22 handgun last June while denying a felony record, though he had a 1975 larceny conviction. Gardner's attorney argued the charges rest on a technicality and that the form question about felonies was unclear, claiming no intent to falsify. The attorney noted Gardner served one year for the larceny conviction. The note ends with a description of Ulysses S. Grant on a U.S. $50 bill and the Capitol image on the reverse.
