Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 289 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 174, 35 Stat. 1122).
The reference to persons aiding was omitted as unnecessary, since such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title.
The last sentence excepting bona fide holders in due course was omitted as surplusage.
Other changes in phraseology also were made.
