United States v. Eldridge Bernard Jones

423 F.2d 636, 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 10289

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Eldridge Bernard Jones failed to submit to induction into the armed forces o,f the United States as ordered by his selective service system. He appeals from his conviction under 50 U.S.C.A.App. § 462 on the ground that he was a conscientious objector and a minister of the Jehovah’s Witnesses sect. Never before the board and not until the day and at the place for induction and thereafter at trial did he claim the exemption. We find no error in the judgment of conviction. United States v. Crutchfield, 422 F.2d 399 (4 Cir., decided February 9, 1970).

Affirmed.
