Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grannan's Warning Against Fraud and Valuable Information: A Treatise Upon Subjects Relating to Crime and Business, and Also Embracing Many Practical Suggestions for Everyday Life
No person shall be convicted of treason or misprision of treason (unless he confess his guilt in open court) except by the testimony of two credible witnesses.
The United States statute on Treason is as follows: Every person owing allegiance to the United States who levies war against them, or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason.
The United States law punishes treason with death; or, at the discretion of the court, imprisonment at hard labor not less than five years and a fine of not less than ten thousand dollars.
