Nos. 2211, 2212.

29 F.2d 517 (1928)

GERARDINO et al. v. PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO. VALEDON v. SAME.

Circuit Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

November 27, 1928.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph H. Beale, of Cambridge, Mass. (Jose Tous Soto and Leopoldo Tormes, both of Ponce, Porto Rico, on the brief), for appellants.

William Cattron Rigby, Lieutenant Colonel, Judge Advocate, of Washington, D. C. (J. A. Lopez Acosta, Acting Atty. Gen. of Porto Rico, of counsel; George C. Butte, Atty. Gen. of Porto Rico, on the brief), for the People of Porto Rico.

Before BINGHAM, JOHNSON, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

ANDERSON, Circuit Judge.

These two appeals from the Supreme Court of Porto Rico grow out of criminal prosecutions for fraud on an insurance company by insuring a man known to be critically ill for a large amount in order to obtain profits from his expected early death. No 2211 is for conspiracy between Gerardino and Valedon; No. 2212 is against Valedon alone for making a false statement that the insured was in good health.
