Most-quoted passages

6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““ * * * The statute governing this offense is to the effect that, any officer, director, agent or employe of any Federal Reserve Bank, or any member bank, who embezzles, abstracts, or wilfully misapplies any of the money, funds, or credit of such member bank, or who makes any false entry in any report or statement of such member bank, with intent, in any case, to injure or defraud such member bank, or to deceive the Comptroller of the Currency, or any agent or examiner appointed to examine the affairs of such member bank, shall be guilty of a certain offense. Note the reading: ‘who wilfully misapplies any of the money’, or ‘who makes any false entry in any report to the Comptroller of the Currency with intent, in any case, to injure or defraud the bank or to deceive the Comptroller of the Currency, or any agent employed by him.’ “The intent must be present to injure or defraud the Bank and, with respect to the reports, to deceive the Comptroller of the Currency. If the act is done, and you believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the intent existed, then, of course, you have no recourse except to find the defendant guilty. If the false report was made and you believe beyond a reasonable doubt from the evidence that the intent existed to deceive the Comptroller of the Currency or any bank examiner, you have no alternative but to find the defendant guilty.””
