    James Howard Wentz was convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. § 472 for passing counterfeit U.S. obligations with intent to defraud. On appeal, Wentz argued the evidence was insufficient to prove the obligations were counterfeit. The court reviewed the record and found competent evidence sufficiently established the spurious nature of the obligations. The court affirmed the judgment of conviction.

    2d 849

    UNITED STATES of America


    v.
    James Howard WENTZ.
    No. 13907.

    United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.


    Argued October 29, 1962.
    Decided November 20, 1962.

    Pearse O'Connor, Pittsburgh, Pa., for appellant.


    Gustave Diamond, Asst. U. S. Atty., Pittsburgh, Pa. (Joseph S.
    Ammerman, U. S. Atty., Western District of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pa.,
    on the brief), for appellee.
    Before STALEY, HASTIE and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM.

    This appeal is from a judgment of conviction on the second and fourth counts
    of an indictment which charged the appellant with violations of Section 472 of
    Title 18 U.S.C., to wit, the passing of counterfeited obligations of the United
    States with intent to defraud. The appellant here argues, as he did in the court
    below in support of a motion for acquittal, that the evidence was insufficient to
    support the allegation that the obligations were counterfeit. We have reviewed
    the record and find that the argument is clearly without merit; the spuriousness
    of the obligations was amply established by competent evidence.

    The judgment of the court will be affirmed.
