Description
The appellant, a physician of Anderson, S.C., was convicted in the court below of charging and receiving compensation of $3,000, in violation of 38 USCA § 551, for collecting the amount due under a policy of war risk insurance. There was evidence on the part of the government that appellant charged this sum for his services and was paid it out of a sum of $8,682.50 collected under the policy.Appellant admitted the receipt of the $3,000, but contended that it was paid to him in satisfaction of a note given by the widow of the deceased soldier in renewal of notes which had been executed to appellant on account of medical services which he had rendered. The government showed, however, that appellant had been paid in full for these services by the mother of the deceased soldier and had issued receipts showing such payment; and it contended that the obtaining of the note for $3,000 was a mere device for covering up the unlawful charge made on account of services. The issue thus raised was fairly submitted to the jury in an able charge, as to which there is no exception. The questions presented by the appeal relate to the admission of testimony and to certain questions and comments by the United States Attorney of which appellant complains.
