States. The petition, as published by the newspaper charges that Cohen "falsely alleged himself to be a citizen of the United States" when he took the oath of office. It asserts that the defendant is not a citizen of this country, but is "a person of African blood and descent and is inherently incapable of being a citizen of the United States."
