Opinion

CALDWELL, District Judge.

If a client and his attorney enter into a conspiracy to resist,an officer in performing his duty, both are equally guilty; and in an indictment for this offence, it is not necessary to show actual violence; threats and acts intended to terrify, or calculated by their nature to terrify a prudent and reasonable officer, are sufficient, even though he be not prevented thereby from executing his process.
