General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Harris v. United States, 227 U.S. 340 (1913)
Harris v. United States No. 602 Argued January 7, 8, 1913 Decided February 24, 1913 227 U.S. 340
ERROR AND CERTIORARI TO CIRCUIT COURT
OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Hoke v. United States, ante, p. 308, followed to effect that the White Slave Traffic Act of 1910 is constitutional.
Bennett v. United States, ante, p. 333, followed to effect that variances between the indictment and proof which did not prejudice defendants as to names of women transported for immoral purposes in violation of the White Slave Traffic Act are not fatal.
The point of variance between indictment and proof relied on in this case not having been made in the trial court or circuit court of appeals, comes too late when made in this Court.
194 F. 634 affirmed.
The facts, which involve the constitutionality and construction of the White Slave Act and the validity of an indictment and conviction thereunder, are stated in the opinion.
