No. 2248.

IN THE

United States Circuit Court of Appeals

For the Ninth Circuit.

Egbert Donaldson,

Plaintiff in Error,

The United States of America,

Defendant in Error.

BRIEF OF DEFENDANT IN ERROR

The argument in the brief of plaintiff in error is

based upon two general propositions:

First, that the court below committed error in the

admission of evidence relating to certain letters

written out of the Alameda County Jail by one

Emil Fiedler, and

Second, that the court committed error in its

charge to the jury with reference to the subject

of conspiracy and the essentials of an overt act in

furtherance thereof.
