Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Criminal Procedure of United States Courts The present volume is the result of fifteen years´ experience as a prosecutor in the courts of the United States. It has not been made to order, but has grown from year to year in the hands of the author as experience made manifest the necessity for a ready guide to the practice of the criminal law in the courts of the United States. The first great obstacle that the author encountered in the successful prosecution of the crimes and offences against the United States, was the absence of any complete index to the Criminal Statutes of the United States, or to the decisions of the courts construing them. The Revised Statutes and the Statutes at Large furnished the only source of knowledge as to what constituted a crime against the United States, and much careful searching through these numerous volumes, at the expense of much time and patience, was often necessary to find the desired information. And when the statute had at last been run down, another search had to be entered upon, through very numerous volumes of United States Digests, to ascertain what construction had been placed upon the statute by the Courts, and as to the proper practice of prosecuting the crime. To remedy this trouble, a Ready Reference Index to the U.S. Criminal Statutes and Decisions was early entered upon, and carefully corrected and enlarged as the statutes and the decision of the courts thereon were varied. In 1874 the author ventured upon the publication of a little volume of Preliminary Practice in the Courts of the United States, intended principally as a manual for United States Commissioners in conducting examinations for crimes and offences against the United States. The inquires that came up from commissioners and attorneys in various parts of the Union, asking as to points of practice not treated of in the manual, induced the author to carefully investigate all points of criminal practice that might possibly occur in proceedings before U. S. Commissioners and in the Courts of the United States, and the fruits of that investigation are embodied in this work.
