TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 914
Words ‘‘and upon conviction thereof’’ preceding ‘‘shall
be’’ were omitted as surplusage since punishment can-
not be imposed until conviction is secured.
Maximum imprisonment provision was changed from
1 year to 3 years so as to be consistent with sections 911
and 912 of this title, the latter having also been
changed to 3 years. There is no sound reason why a uni-
form punishment should not be prescribed for the of-
fenses defined in these three sections.
Changes were made in phraseology.
Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this
title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $1,000’’.

fers or endeavors to transfer such public stock
or any part thereof, or receives or endeavors to
