UNITED STATES V. BOOZ
451 F.2d 719 (3rd Cir. 1971)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction for a bank robbery.
FACTS: A bank was robber in Dublin, Pennsylvania on April 18, 1967 by two armed men. The
Government alleged that one of the men was Booz (D). Included in the money taken that day
were 25 bait bills whose serial numbers had been recorded. On June 12, 1967, D deposited a
large sum of money in a bank and included therein were 18 bait bills. A search warrant was
executed against D and no further evidence was found. D was indicted for bank robbery and
tried. Several witnesses were introduced at trial to place D at the scene at the time of the
robbery. The testimony of a Mr. Kulp regarding suspicious activities and the license numbers
on some of the vehicles used in the robbery were at issue. Mr. Kulp during trial could not
remember what he told the FBI agents immediately after the robbery. Eventually an FBI agent
was put on the stand to testify about the report he had taken from Mr. Kulp immediately
after the robbery. D objected and was convicted and appealed.
