Judge Amidon Rules Confederate Bill Not a Federal Crime
Fargo December 20 Judge Amidon holds in the Barrett case that passing a Confederate bill to an unsuspecting Indian is not a federal crime. Barrett, arrested for giving a $50 Confederate bill in a horse trade, was cited under a statute against bearing bills resembling regular currency. The ruling says mere likeness does not prove federal forgery unless an imitation is attempted and directs the Indian case to state courts as a cheat, not a U S offense.
