Note 267 — Chapter IV · LEGISLATION AGAINST SEDITION AND ANARCHY
Reading edition
Section 332 of the U. S. Criminal Code punishes one who “aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures” a crime; but this section has only been applied to men who have aided in a crime which has actually been committed. It probably can not be used against unsuccessful incitement. U. S. v. Rogers, 226 Fed. 512, so holds, though there is a suggestion that the crime need not be committed in Billingsley v. U. S., 249 Fed. 331. Section 4 raises the same question.
