Supreme Court overturns draft evasion conviction for misaddressed mail
The court, in a 7 to 2 decision by Justice Reed, set aside Homer Lester Bartcey’s conviction for failing to keep his draft board informed of his address. It ruled a forwarding chain suffices if mail would reasonably reach him, while noting the dissent by Chief Justice Stone and Justice Roberts. Bartcey, a Houston figure linked to the Communist party, had argued mail was misdirected but surrendered to the FBI and faced 60 days in jail after a lower court upheld the verdict.
