Description
This defendant was charged by indictment containing thirty-nine counts. The first thirty-eight charged him with the use of the United States mails in the execution of a scheme to defraud by means of false representations and promises with respect to Associated Adjusters, a Wisconsin corporation. The last count charged him with conspiracy with another person to commit the offenses set forth in the other counts of the indictment. The several counts were contested by demurrer and motions to quash and to dismiss. They were overruled by the court, and the case was tried to a jury. At the conclusion of all the testimony, the defendant moved for a directed verdict. This motion was sustained as to the thirty-sixth count and overruled as to all others. A verdict of guilty was returned upon counts numbered one to thirty-five inclusive, and also as to counts thirty-seven and thirty-eight. He was found not guilty on the conspiracy count. Thereupon, the defendant moved for a new trial and for arrest of judgment, which was overruled. Thereupon, the court rendered judgment of guilty in accordance with the verdict and fixed the penalty. From this judgment the defendant appeals, and the denial of his motion in arrest of judgment is the only assignment relied upon.
