United States of America, and v. Edgar True Corning

Opinion
The judgment of conviction in this criminal contempt case is reversed.
Well intentioned as the original order was for the taking of a deposition of Corning in a criminal case, we find that no rule or statute really authorized it at the time.
On cases arising after October, 1970, there is statutory authorization under Public Law 91-452 for depositions under certain circumstances.
