United States v. Charles
25 F. Cas. 409 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia | 1813
granted a new trial because the first confession of the prisoner had been made under the impression of fear and hope excited by the observations of the magistrate, (Mr. Lufborough.) And no subsequent confession of the same facts ought to be given against him, according to the law as stated in 2 East, Cr. L. c. 16, <§> 94.
Upon the new trial he was convicted, and pardoned by the President. See the case of United States v. Jacob Bruce, post.
