United States v. Crimmins, 123 F.2d 271 (2d Cir. 1941) was a case before the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals about conspiracy to transport stolen securities in interstate commerce § 415, Title 18, U.S.C.A. John D. Crimmins, a lawyer practicing in Syracuse, New York, was convicted for his part in a conspiracy where he bought stolen securities from a confederate who also lived in New York. Crimmins appealed on the grounds that he did not know the bonds had been transported across state lines.
