Carpenter and James A. Wilkerson, in the Phillip Grossman case, which was consldered bhefore the Daugherty in- vestigating committee, The opinion held should be taken in tence of a year in decreed by former Federal Judge K. M. Land Grossman was sentenced for contempt in a prohibition case The two judges gave separate opine fons but concurring in effect. The constitution gives the president power to pardon “offenses against the United States” only, and “there are that Grossman custody on sen- Jail for contempt | no offenses against the United States, save those declared to be such by congr declared Judge Carpentier, Contempt cases, therefore, he held to be outside that category. “The president derives his pardon- ing power from article 11, section 2 (1) of the constitution, which pro- vides: ‘The president x x x shajl have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of im- peachment.’ “There is no federal common law, There are no offenses against the United States, save those declared to be such by congress. The people could counterfeit with Impunity were it net for legiglation to the contrary, Mur, der on the navigabie ters of the United States might b a pastim were it not for congressional actien,” Opinions Are Given The opinions of the attorney gener- als of the United States in 185411845 and 1852 as to the president’'s power pardon were declared by Judge Wilkerson to have been based upon all erroneous assumption that the president stood in a somewhat similar position toward the United BStates courts as the king of England toward the English courts. “It was well said that the power to tax is the power to destroy; it is just an true that the power to pardon for contempt 1s the power to destroy judi- cial authority,” said Judge Wilkerson. Nor is it permissible to draw an artificial distinction based upon the method which must be employed or rm of the mandate which must sd in dealing with obstructions udicial power. As was stated by Justice White in Toledo News- paper company ve. 1. 8. ‘the test * is the character of the act and lirect tendency to prevent and ob- + the discharge of judicial duties’ Judicial authority is destroyed and e function of the courts as the guardi f the constitution is im. paired 1 ¢ same way by an aet 1n deflance courts prohibition AR by the 1o perform an aet until compg by Was Never in Costody.
