Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 99 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 46,
35 Stat. 1097).
That portion of said section
99 relating to felonious taking was omitted as covered by section
641 of this title.
The punishment by fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both, was changed to harmonize with section
2111 of this title. The 15–year penalty is not excessive for an offense of this type.
Minor verbal change was made.
1994—
Pub. L. 103–322 inserted “or attempts to rob” after “robs”.
