CHAPTER XXV.

CRIMINAL STATUTES.

Complete Penal Code, Together with an Appendix, which Contains a Reference to all Laws of a General Nature in force on December 1, 1909, which have Penal Provisions, and which are not Contained in the 1910 Criminal Code.

EXPLANATION-All criminal statutes were revised and collated into what is called the Revised Statutes of 1878. Between that time and 1910 there was, of course, much important criminal legislation and the 1910 Code, therefore, became necessary. That code, however, does not include all of the federal criminal statutes, many still remaining alive in the 1878 revision. There are also many laws having criminal provisions which are not included in either the Code or the Revised Statutes.

The government prepared, at its printing office, in 1911, a pamphlet which is supposed to contain all of the criminal statutes up to the date of such printing, or to at least point where such statute may be found. In order that this volume may be as complete as possible, I secured copies of this government publication, and have included it herein. The information that comes under the head of appendix is valuable since the general headings thereof will enable one to trace and find quickly any criminal provision, which is not included in the 1910 act. The reference is to the 1878 statutes and also to the statutes-at-large.

The most important laws, enacted since 1910 are to be found in the preceding twenty-four chapters. With those and this chapter every criminal statute up to January 1, 1916 is present or information as to its whereabouts is given in this book.
