Masses Publishing Co. v. Patten
In Masses Publishing Co. v. Patten (244 F. 535), the District Court ruled that the New York postmaster was in error when he used the Espionage Act to justify his refusal to circulate anti-war magazine The Masses.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District Court opinion by Judge Hand.
