United States Supreme Court

Davis v. Balkcom
Denied.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE, with whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS joins, has filed the following memorandum:
While it is not our custom to state reasons when denying a writ of certiorari, there are occasions when the gravity of the allegations in a petition makes it appropriate to state what the denial does not mean in order to give assurance that this Court is not insensible to charges of egregious violations of constitutional rights.
The denial of a writ of certiorari does not mean that this Court approves the decision below nor, in state criminal cases, that the petitioner is necessarily precluded from obtaining relief in some other appropriate proceeding. Both state and federal courts have an equally binding obligation to uphold the Constitution, and when a state court fails to vindicate rights guaranteed by the Constitution in a criminal proceeding upon a proper demand, the federal courts are open to an aggrieved petitioner.
In this case the state courts refused to grant a hearing to the petitioner on procedural grounds. However, a life is at stake, and unless some court, state or federal, entertains his petition, this petitioner will be executed without a hearing on the charges that strike at the very foundation of American justice. He contends that, under a statute recently declared unconstitutional by this Court, he was denied the right to be a witness in his own defense or even to testify that the confession used against him was coerced during a two-month period of illegal detention. He also claims that he was denied the right to trial by jury of his peers under a valid indictment through the systematic exclusion of members of his race from the jury lists, a practice which has often been condemned as unconstitutional by this Court and which Congress has made criminal.
No man should ever be imprisoned-let alone executed-in this country if such charges can be substantiated.

# Constitution of the Cisalpine Republic (1797)

The first Constitution of the Cisalpine Republic, in force from 1797 until 1798. Source: Constitution des républiques française, cisalpine et ligurienne (1799)
PROCLAMATION. Bonaparte general in chief of the army of Italy.
The Cisalpine Republic has been for some years under the dominion of the House of Austria. The French Republic succeeded it by right of conquest. It renounces it from this day, and the Cisalpine Republic is free and independent. Recognised by France and by the Emperor, it will soon be acknowledged by all Europe. The Executive Directory of the French Republic, not content, to have employed its influence and the victories of the republican armies, to assure the political existence of the Cisalpine Republic, carries its solicitude still farther; and, convinced, that if liberty be the first of blessings, a revolution may draw after it the most terrible of all calamities, it gives to the Cisalpine people, his proper Constitution, the result of the wisdom of the most enlightened nation of Europe. The Cisalpine people then ought to pass from a military to a constitutional government. That this passage may be made without shock or anarchy, the Executive Directory has thought it right to name, for this time only, the members of the government, and the legislature, in such a way, that when the first year shall have expired the people will elect their public functionaries, according to the Constitution. Many years have passed away since the existence of a republic in Italy. The sacred fire of liberty was extinguished, and the finest part of Europe was subject to a foreign yoke. It belongs to the Cisalpine Republic to show to the world, by its wisdom, its energy, and the good organisation of its armies, that modern Italy is not degenerated, that it is still worthy of liberty. (Signed) BONAPARTE.

Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure eev'n, To that same lot. however mean, or high, Toward which Time leads me. and the will of Heav'n; All is. if I have grace to use it so, As ever in my great task Masters eye.

To Mr. Cyriack Skinner upon his Blindness.
To outward view, of blemish or of spot; Bereft of light thir seeing have forgot, Nor to thir idle orbs doth sight appear Of Sun or Moon or Starre throughout the year, Or man or woman. Yet I argue not Against heavns hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear vp and steer Right onward. What supports me dost thou ask? The conscience, Friend, to have lost them overply'd In libertyes defence, my noble task, Of which all Europe talks from side to side. This thought might lead me through the worlds vain mask Content though blind, had I no better guide.

Captain or Colonel, or Knight in Arms, Whose chance on these defenceless dores may sease, If ever deed of honour did thee please, Guard them, and him within protect from harms, He can requite thee, for he knows the charms That call Fame on such gentle acts as these, And he can spred thy Name o're Lands and Seas, What ever clime the Suns bright circle warms.

Lady that in the prime of earliest youth, Wisely hast shun'd the broad way and the green, And with those few art eminently seen, That labour up the Hill of heav'nly Truth, The better part with Mary, and with Ruth, Chosen thou hast, and they that overween, And at thy growing vertues fret their spleen, No anger find in thee, but pity and ruth. Thy care is fixt, and zealously attends To fill thy odorous Lamp with deeds of light, And Hope that reaps not shame. Therefore be sure Thou, when the Bridegroom with his feastfull friends Passes to bliss at the mid hour of night, Hast gain'd thy entrance, Virgin wise and pure.

To Mr. H. Lawes, on his Aires.
First taught our English Musick how to span Words with just note and accent, not to scan With Midas Ears, committing short and long; Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng, With praise enough for Envy to look wan; To after age thou shalt be writ the man, That with smooth aire couldst humor best our tongue. Thou honour'st Verse, and Verse must send her wing To honour thee, the Priest of Phœbus Quire That tun'st their happiest lines in Hymn, or Story.

When Faith and Love which parted from thee never, Had ripen'd thy just soul to dwell with God, Meekly thou didst resign this earthy load Of Death, call'd Life; which us from Life doth sever. Thy Works and Alms and all thy good Endeavour Staid not behind, nor in the grave were trod; But as Faith pointed with her golden rod, Follow'd thee up to joy and bliss for ever. Love led them on, and Faith who knew them best Thy hand-maids, clad them o're with purple beams And azure wings, that up they flew so drest, And speak the truth of thee on glorious Theams Before the Judge, who thenceforth bid thee rest And drink thy fill of pure immortal streams.

I did but prompt the age to quit their cloggs By the known rules of antient libertie, When strait a barbarous noise environs me Of Owles and Cuckoes, Asses, Apes and Doggs. As when those Hinds that were transform'd to Froggs Raild at Latona's twin-born progenie Which after held the Sun and Moon in fee. But this is got by casting Pearl to Hoggs; That bawle for freedom in their senceless mood, And still revolt when truth would set them free. Licence they mean when they cry libertie; For who loves that, must first be wise and good; But from that mark how far they roave we see For all this wast of wealth, and loss of blood.

Beer, Joseph (sometimes written Boer by the Germans) was born in Gr�nwald, in Bohemia, in 1744. At the age of fourteen he played in a military band in the emperor's service, and afterwards was trumpeter in the French army during the Seven Years' War. Chance led him to Paris, where he became connected with the music of the Duke of Orleans. Here he first devoted himself to the study of the clarinet. He remained here twenty years. In 1788 he visited Holland, Italy, and Russia, where his talent excited great admiration. In 1791 he gave a brilliant concert in Prague, then went to Hungary, and returned to Prague in 1792, at the coronation of the Emperor Francis Il., at which time his concerts created great enthusiasm. Called to Berlin soon after, he remained there as concert master to the Prussian monarch until 1808. Thence he revisited Prague, and returning to Berlin, died in 1811. Before him the art of playing the clarinet was in its infancy ; he may almost be said to have created this instrument, since he overcame so many of its imperfections. In his kind he was one of the most remarkable artists that Germany has produced. But few compositions of his are known ; one concerto for the clarinet, six clarinet duos, an air with seven variations, &c., are all that Fells mentions.

Begrez, Pierre-ignace, was born at Namur, in Belgium, in 1787. At the age of six years he was entered as a chorister in the cathedral church of St. Aubain, where the beauty of his voice was much admired. A few years afterwards, he quitted the Netherlands for Paris, where he was received as a violin pupil at the Conservatory of Music. After this time, he was, during several years, employed in the orchestra, at the Italian Opera at Paris, which was under the direction of the celebrated Grass et. He then quitted the violin, his voice having settled into a fine tenor, and devoted himself entirely to the study of singing, under the first masters then at Paris ; so that, in the year 1814, he gained the first prize for singing at the Conservatory. In 1815, he made his debut at the Grand Opera, and obtained the greatest success in the principal parts of the several operas, "Armide," "Les Bayaderes," and "Anacreon." He still, however, although he received much encouragement, felt that his studies had formed him rather for the Italian than the French school of singing; he consequently decided to take the earliest opportunity of quitting the French opera establishment, and travelling in Italy. At the close of the year 1815, Begrez went to England as first tenor at the King's Theatre, to which establishment he remained attached till the end of the season of 1821 ; since which time he quitted the stage, and confined himself to concert singing and tuition.

266 U.S. 147
Davis v. Kennedy
Argued: Oct. 17, 1924. --- Decided: Nov 17, 1924
This is an action under the Employers' Liability Act of April 22, 1908, c. 149, § 1, 35 Stat. 65 (Comp. St. § 8657), brought by the administratrix of David Kennedy to recover damages for his death upon a railroad while under federal control. The death was caused by a collision between two trains called No. 1 and No. 4, west of a point known as Shops which was two and a half miles west of Nashville, Tennessee. The tracks were double from Nashville to Shops but after that the track was single. No. 1, bound for Nashville, had the right of way, and the crew of No. 4, bound westward, had instructions never to pass Shops unless they knew as a fact that No. 1 had passed it. Kennedy was the engineer of No. 4. The conductor had told him that the train was crowded and had asked him to look out for No. 1, which Kennedy agreed to do. He ran his train on beyond Shops however and the collision occurred.
The trial was in a Court of the State of Tennessee, and the plaintiff got, a judgment which was sustained by the Supreme Court of the State on the ground that the other members of the crew as well as the engineer were bound to look out for the approaching train and that their negligence contributed as a proximate cause to the engineer's death. We are of opinion that this was error. It was the personal duty of the engineer positively to ascertain whether the other train had passed. His duty was primary as he had physical control of No. 4, and was managing its course. It seems to us a perversion of the statute to allow his representative to recover for an in jury directly due to his failure to act as required on the ground that possibly it might have been prevented if those in secondary relation to the movement had done more. Frese v. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. R. Co., 263 U.S. 1, 3, 44 S.C.t. 1, 68 L. Ed. 131.

Davis v. Henderson
Argued: Oct. 8, 1924. --- Decided: Oct 27, 1924
Henderson, a shipper of cattle, brought this suit in a state court of Arkansas against an interstate carrier then under federal control. The cause of action alleged was failure to furnish a car within a reasonable time after notice. The carrier defended on the ground that the shipper had not complied with a rule, approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and contained in its tariff, which provided that orders for cars must be placed with the local agent in writing. Written notice was not given. The plaintiff was permitted to testify that he had notified the station agent orally and that the latter had accepted his oral notice. The trial court refused to instruct the jury that the shipper could not recover without proving a notice in writing. Exceptions were duly taken. The plaintiff got the verdict; and the judgment entered thereon was affirmed by the highest court of the state. 157 Ark. 43, 247 S. W. 1070. The carrier brought this writ of error, and also filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, consideration of which was postponed until the hearing on the writ of error. The former must be dismissed. Act Sept. 6, 1916, c. 448, § 2, 39 Stat. 726 (Comp. St. § 1214). The writ of certiorari is now granted.
There is no claim that the rule requiring written notice was void. The contention is that the rule was waived. It could not be. The transportation service to be performed was that of common carrier under published tariffs. The rule was a part of the tariff. Georgia, Florida & Alabama Ry. Co. v.
