1. United States v. Mason, No. 642., SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, Argued March 5, 1909. , April 5, 1909, Decided
OVERVIEW: Defendants could not be indicted for murder under § 5509 of the U.S. Revised Statutes, which provided that if, in the act of engaging in a conspiracy, any other crime was committed, an offender would be punished with such punishment as was attached to such crime by state law, because a state court had already acquitted defendants of murder.
