June 10, 1902171 N.Y. 423
Summary
The Court affirmed the defendant's conviction for a misdemeanor under section 675 of the Penal Code, holding that the publication of an article advocating the murder of government officials endangers the public peace. It also held that the New York constitutional guarantee of free press does not shield such incitement from legislative punishment.
