Description
FRIENDLY, Circuit Judge: Eric Stanchich was convicted, after trial before Judge Pierce and a jury in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, on two substantive counts of an indictment for counterfeiting. One count charged him and Alan Michael Fitzgerald with having possessed, passed and attempted to sell a $100,000 counterfeit treasury bill in violation of 18 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 472 and 2; another count charged them with transferring and delivering the same bill in violation of 18 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 473 and 2. At the end of the prosecution's case the court dismissed a count charging the defendants with conspiring to commit the substantive crimes, in violation of 18 U.S.C. ร§ 371. Although both defendants were convicted and appealed, Fitzgerald's appeal was separated on his request. The grounds of Stanchich's appeal are that, in view of the dismissal of the conspiracy count, it was error for the court to allow the jury to consider against Stanchich on the substantive counts what are claimed to have been inadmissible hearsay statements by Fitzgerald and that even with, or particularly without, the alleged hearsay statements, the evidence against Stanchich was insufficient to warrant submission of the substantive counts.
