AN ACT
For the relief of Samuel Ensler and Louis Puccinelli.
[63 STAT.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money
in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Samuel Ensler and
Louis Puccinelli, jointly, of San Francisco, California, the sum of
$2,500. Such sum represents reimbursement for the loss sustained by
the said Samuel Ensler and Louis Puccinelli on account of the for-
feiture to the United States of a bond conditioned upon the delivery
in court of one William H. Hutcheson. By reason of the nonappear-
ance of the said William H. Hutcheson, such bond was declared for-
feited in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California, and the amount was paid by the said Samuel Ensler
and Louis Puccinelli on November 25, 1946. The said William H.
Hutcheson was apprehended within a very short time after such pay-
ment through the efforts of the said Samuel Ensler and Louis Puc-
cinelli; and on October 21, 1947, the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California vacated such forfeiture: Provided,
That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10
per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any
agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with
this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary
notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
Approved May 31, 1949.

United States for services rendered as acting postmaster at River
Edge, New Jersey from October 1, 1945, to August 19, 1946: Provided,
