Decided February 2, 1942
315 U.S. 257

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

1. On review of a conviction in a criminal case, the Government’s confession of error, though entitled to great weight, does not relieve the Court of its duty to examine independently the errors confessed. P. 258.

2. The second proviso of § 6 of the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act, as amended, which requires "any manufacturer, producer, compounder, or vendor (including dispensing physicians)" to keep a record of all sales, exchanges, or gifts of certain preparations and remedies, does not apply to physicians administering to patients whom they personally attend. P. 259.

119 F.2d 399 reversed.

Certiorari, 314 U.S. 595, to review the affirmance of a conviction for violation of the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act.
