Syllabus

<p>1. Counterfeiting—Similitude—Worthless Bank Bills.</p> <p>Bills issued by a bank for circulation are not obligations or securities “engraved and printed after the similitude of an obligation and security issued under the authority of the United States,” within the meaning of Rev. St. § 5430, since they do not purport to be obligations or securities of the United States, and an indictment for a violation of said section does not charge an offense where it shows that the instruments referred to are such bank bills.</p> <p>2. Criminal Law — Removal of Prisoner to Another District for Trial.</p> <p>A federal court will no.t order a person removed to another district for trial on an indictment which does not charge facts constituting an offense, although the prisoner does not resist the removal, or even if he consents thereto.</p>
