United States Supreme Court
211 U.S. 127
Washington v. Oregon
Argued: January 8, 9, 1908. --- Decided: November 16, 1908
This is an original suit, commenced in this court on February 26, 1906, by the state of Washington against the state of Oregon, to determine their boundary line. Pleadings were filed, testimony taken before a commissioner by consent of the parties, and on these pleadings and proofs the case has been argued and submitted. The maps or charts accompanying this opinion have been prepared from exhibits filed by the parties, and will aid to an understanding of the case.
A brief chronological statement is that on August 14, 1848, the territory of Oregon was established (9 Stat. at L. 323, chap. 177), and on March 2, 1853, the territory of Washington, including all that portion of Oregon territory lying north of the middle of the main channel of the Columbia river (10 Stat. at L. 172, chap. 90). On February 14, 1859, Oregon was admitted into the Union. The boundary, so far as is important in this controversy, is as follows (11 Stat. at L. 383, chap. 33):
'Beginning one marine league at sea due west from the point where the forty-second parallel of north latitude intersects the same; thence northerly, at the same distance from the line of the coast, lying west and opposite the state, including all islands within the jurisdiction of the United States, to a point due west and opposite the middle of the north ship channel of the Columbia river; thence easterly, to and up the middle channel of said river, and where it is divided by islands, up the middle of the widest channel thereof, to a point near Fort Walla-Walla.'
On February 22, 1889, an act was passed providing for the admission of Washington. 25 Stat. at L. 676, chap. 180. On November 11, 1889, the President, as authorized by § 8 of the statute last referred to, issued his proclamation, declaring Washington duly admitted into the Union. 26 Stat. at L. 1552. The material part of the boundary described in the Constitution of that state is—
'Beginning at a point in the Pacific ocean one marine league due west of and opposite the middle of the mouth of the north ship channel of the Columbia river, thence running easterly to and up the middle channel of said river, and where it is divided by islands up the middle of the widest channel thereof to where the forty-sixth parallel of north latitude crosses said river, near the mouth of the Walla Walla river.' Art. 24, § 1; 2 Hill's Anno. Statutes & Codes (Wash.) p. 851.
Messrs. E. C. Macdonald, John D. Atkinson, Samuel H. Piles, A. J. Falknor, and J. B. Alexander for complainant.
Messrs. A. M. Crawford, I. H. Van Winkle, Harrison Allen, C. W. Fulton, and A. M. Smith for defendant.

United States Supreme Court
388 U.S. 14
Washington v. Texas
Argued: March 15 and 16, 1967. --- Decided: June 12, 1967
Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring in the result.
For reasons that I have stated in my concurring opinion in Gideon v. Wainweight, 372 U.S. 335, 349, 83 S.Ct. 792, 799, 9 L.Ed.2d 799, and in my opinion concurring in the result in Pointer v. State of Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 408, 85 S.Ct. 1065, 1070, 13 L.Ed.2d 923 and in my dissenting opinion in Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497 539-545, 81 S.Ct. 1752, 1774-1778, 6 L.Ed.2d 989, I cannot accept the view that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment 'incorporates,' in its terms, the specific provisions of the Bill of Rights. In my view the Due Process Clause is not reducible to 'a series of isolated points,' but is rather 'a rational continuum which, broadly speaking, includes a freedom from all substantial arbitrary impositions and purposeless restraints * * *.' Poe v. Ullman, supra, at 543, 81 S.Ct. at 1777, see Palko v. State of Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319, 58 S.Ct. 149, 82 L.Ed. 288; Klopfer v. North Carolina, 386 U.S. 213, 226, 87 S.Ct. 988, 995, 18 L.Ed.2d 1 (opinion concurring in the result).
I concur in the result in this case because I believe that the State may not constitutionally forbid the petitioner, a criminal defendant, from introducing on his own behalf the important testimony of one indicted in connection with the same offense, who would not, however, be barred from testifying if called by the prosecution. Texas has put forward no justification for this type of discrimination between the prosecution and the defense in the ability to call the same person as a witness, and I can think of none.
In my opinion this is not, then, really a problem of 'compulsory process' at all, although the Court's incorporationist approach leads it to strain this constitutional provision to reach these peculiar statutes. Neither is it a situation in which the State has determined, as a matter of valid state evidentiary law, on the basis of general experience with a particular class of persons, as for example, the mentally incompetent or those previously convicted of perjury, that the pursuit of truth is best served by an across-the-board disqualification as witnesses of persons of that class. Compare Spencer v. State of Texas, 385 U.S. 554, 87 S.Ct. 648, 17 L.Ed.2d 606. This is rather a case in which the State has recgn ized as relevant and competent the testimony of this type of witness, but has arbitrarily barred its use by the defendant. This, I think, the Due Process Clause forbids.

WASHINGTON v. TEXAS.
Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
No. 649. Argued: March 15–16, 1967. --- Decided: June 12, 1967.

## Concurring Opinion

    Harlan
Petitioner and another were charged with a fatal shooting. Petitioner's alleged coparticipant was tried first and convicted of murder. At petitioner's trial for the same murder he sought to secure his coparticipant's testimony which would have been vital for his defense. On the basis of two Texas statutes which at the time of trial prevented a participant accused of a crime from testifying for his coparticipant (but not for the prosecution), the judge sustained the State's objection to the coparticipant's testimony. Petitioner's conviction ensued and was upheld on appeal. Held:
1. The right under the Sixth Amendment of a defendant in a criminal case to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment. Pp. 17–19.
2. The State arbitrarily denied petitioner the right to have the material testimony for him of a witness concerning events which that witness observed and thus denied him the right to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor. Pp. 19–23.
400 S.W.2d 756, reversed.
Charles W. Tessmer argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief was Emmett Colvin, Jr.
Howard M. Fender, Assistant Attorney General of Texas, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were Crawford C. Martin, Attorney General, George Cowden, First Assistant Attorney General, Robert Lattimore, Assistant Attorney General, and A. J. Carubbi, Jr.

Voyages in the Northern Pacific.
INTERESTING EARLY ACCOUNT OF KAMEHAMEHA'S REALM; MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE PEOPLE, ETC.
And Sketch of a Cruise in the Service of the Independents of South America in 1819, By
PETER CORNEY.
With Preface and Appendix of Valuable Confirmatory Letters Prepared by
PROF. W. D. ALEXANDER.
THOS. G. THRUM, Publisher.
Honolulu, H. I.
1896.
PREFACE.
The following narrative by Mr. Peter Corney is now published in a separate form for the first time. As may be seen, it was first published serially in a weekly literary magazine in London, during the year 1821.
It seems to have been entirely over looked by the historians of the North-west Coast of America as well as by those of the Hawaiian Islands. It even escaped the researches of the indefatigable H. H. Bancroft and of Robt. Greenhow, the historian of Oregon.
The author was once well known in Honolulu, and has a number of descendants living here. He died in 1836, on board of the bark Columbia, while on his way to what is now called British Columbia, where he was to occupy a responsible position in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. In consequence of his death his wife and children decided to remain in Honolulu, instead of continuing their voyage to the North-west Coast.
His narrative is a valuable contribution to the history not only of the North-west Coast, but also of the Hawaiian Islands. In particular, it throws much light on the proceedings of the ​Russians here in 1815–1817, on the mutiny and piracy of the crew of the Argentine cruiser, Santa Rosa, her recapture by Capt. Bouchard of the frigate Argentina, and their homeward voyage, including the sack and burning of Monterey, California. It is also valuable as containing an account by a fair-minded eye-witness of the state of things in the islands near the close of Kamehameha's reign, which confirms the statements made by Alexander Campbell, James Hunnewell and other early visitors and residents.
W. D. Alexander.

The whole voyage lasted 109 days, during which he studied the commercial conditions and the characters of the countries. As at that time the Trans-Siberia Railway had not yet been constructed, he had to travel part of the ​way by carriage and part by boat.
