In United States v. Sampson, 371 U.S. 75, 83 S.Ct. 173, 9 L.Ed.2d 136 (1962), defendants were indicted for mail fraud. They were associated with a nation-wide corporation whose reputed function was to enable businessmen to obtain loans and sell their businesses. The indictment charged that after salesmen had fraudulently obtained applications for such services and advance payments therefor, that thereafter the defendants mailed acceptances of such applications to the victims in order to 'lull' them into believing that the services would be performed. The District Court dismissed the indictment on the ground that since the money had already been obtained before the acceptances were mailed, such mailings could not have been 'for the purpose of executing' the fraudulent scheme. The Supreme Court reversed, distinguishing Kann and Parr, and saying at page 80 of 371 U.S., 83 S.Ct. at page 176: 'We are unable to find anything in either the Kann or the Parr case which suggests that the Court was laying down an automatic rule that a deliberate, planned use of the mails after the victims' money had been obtained can never be 'for the purpose of executing' the defendants' scheme. Rather the Court found only that under the facts in those cases the schemes had been fully executed before the mails were used. And Court of Appeals decisions rendered both before and after Kann have followed the view that subsequent mailings can in some circumstances provide the basis for an indictment under the mail fraud statutes. 'Moreover, as pointed out above, the indictment in this case alleged that the defendants' scheme contemplated from the start the commission of fraudulent activities which were to be and actually were carried out both before and after the money was obtained from the victims.'
