The following excerpt is from United States ex rel. Lathan v. Deegan, 450 F.2d 181 (2nd Cir. 1971):
14 Lathan guides us to Reed v. United States, 252 F. 21 (2d Cir. 1918), which upheld the convictions of persons prosecuted for masquerading as military officers for the purpose of arresting deserters for reward. But we find no indication in Reed that the arrests and subsequent courts-martial of those apprehended by the impersonators were affected.
