The following excerpt is from United States v. Baratta, 397 F.2d 215 (2nd Cir. 1968):
6 This was not the case in United States v. Massiah, supra. In Massiah, three of the four defendants were charged and convicted only of conspiracy. Moreover, the majority of the court in that case also found that "other statements in the court's general discussion of the law of conspiracy suggested to the jury that knowledge of importation was not necessary. * * *" 307 F.2d at 70. We find no such statements in the charge before us. Cf. United States v. Agueci, supra.
7 See n. 1, supra.
