UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,

v.

WOODROW WILSON, AKA WOODROW WILSON, JR., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT

Headquarters Building 2000 P Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Sir: Effective immediately, the United States Merchant Marine Office of Marine Registry shall accept registration and title applications for privately owned small craft, boats and motors. Please complete the enclosed forms and return to this office within five days. Very truly yours, /s/ William E. Blake William E. Blake Chief of Operations, USMM Responses, with fees, resulted.. This prosecution for mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341) and conspiracy to commit mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 371) followed, resulting in appellant’s conviction and sentence to five years’ imprisonment. His primary point of error here is that the trial court permitted several recipients of the above missive to testify to the impression which it made upon their minds: a notice of mandatory registration requirements from some agency of the United States. These non-expert opinions on non-technical matters are said to have invaded the province of the jury, thus depriving appellant of due process of law. The question is not an open one in this circuit: “Testimony concerning the reasons why a witness was misled and what he thought the written instrument meant is proper evidence in a prosecution for mail fraud.” Shale v. United States, 5th Cir., 1968, 388 F. 2d 616, 618; Silverman v. United States, 5th Cir., 1954, 213 F. 2d 405. These cases, despite the valiant attempt of appellant’s counsel to do so, are indistinguishable from appellant’s, and we adhere to them. Review of the record below shows appellant’s other contentions to be merit-less. Affirmed. . The equivalent of the corporate president was entitled “Commandant,” of the vice presidents, “Chief of Operations, USMM,” or “Vice-Commandant, USMM, Supplies and Accounts,” etc.
