Opinions Rendered in TIL Sc Cases, None
Being of Unusual Importance.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-The Supreme Court
to-day rendered an opinion in the case of Lewis
". Clark. plaintiff in error. against the Com
monweslth of Pennsylvania, on an appeal from
the Court Of Quarter Sessions of the Peace Of
Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. Clark was part
owner of avessel licensed by the United States to
engage in the coasting trade, and while running
the vessel as an excursion steamer between
Pittsburg and McKeeis Rocks, was convicted of
violation OF the State law requiring q license to
be taken out for the sale of liquor. he made
application to the Supreme Court for a habeas
eopus. The court. in an opinion by Chief-justice
Fuller. dismissed the petition for a writ of error
without going into the merits of the case.
The court also rendered an opinion in the case
If Banks & Bros, OF Nsw York city, appellants,
Court OF the United States for the Southern
District Of Ohio. This was a suit for an injuuc-
tion TO perpetuallv restrain the defendant, Man
chester, from publishing certain reports of the
Supreme Court OF Ohio. The point ct issue
was the right of the Supreme Court Reporter of
the State TO copyright. for the State. the opin-
ions and syllabi prepared by the Judges of the
court in their official capacity. This court, in
an opinion by Justice Blatchford, hold that, az
the opinions were prepared by the Judges In
their capacity as officers of the State, the copy
right law does not extend 10 them. The judg-
ment of the Circuit Court is accordingly affirmed.
The court also rendered an opinion in the case
Of the United States and others, against Frank
W. DeWalt. DeWalt was convicted upon an in
formation OF embezzlement and making fraud
ulent entries as president OF q national bank,
and was sentenced TO ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary. He made application for a
writ of habess corpus on the ground that he had
been tried on a heinous crime upon an inforna-
tion, contrary TO the constitutional provision
that a heinous crime should be tried only after
q presentment and Indictment by a grand jury.
The court below granted the application, aud
the United States took an appeal to this
court. which to-day affirmed the judgment OF
the lower court 1t was contended by counsel
-fs- 4hs EUycTum1uL Inar as the sentence pro-
vided by the statute under which De Walt was
convicted did not prescribe Imprisonment at
hard labor, it did not make the crime q heinous
one. The Supreme Court says that IN the
Mackin case it was held that at the present day
imprisonment in a penitentiary. with or with
out hard labor, is an infamous punishment, and
that the opinion IN that case governs the present
case. Opinion by Chief-justice Fuller.

that be would make an excellent man for the

A BoOt-BIack Strikes ApOther Boy with his
Box, Infiicting Fatal Iojuries.
Special tu tho IDdisnapoiis sourna,
MARSHALL, Nov. 19.-Thers was a probably fa-
tai alteration here today. about - o'clock, be-
tween two boys. John Cunningham, aged about
seventeen, was engaged, with some other boys.
in teasing Maurice Harvey, a fourteen-year-old
lad of rather tough character. when Harvey,
who IL a boot-olack, suddenly struck him q terri
be blow on the aide of the head with his black
ing-box. Cunningham's head was laid open
for four or five inches, and his
skull fractured. The chances for his
recovery are thought TO be slight, as the wound
bleeds internally. Harvey fed. but was soon
CAPTURED, and is now in jail. He is a hard char
acter, despite his youth. and was recently sent
to the Reform School. but escaped the next day.
and got back to Marshall only one day after the
sheriff who took him there. Cunningham was
an industrious boy. who has made his own way
since he was eight years old. but Was rather
hardened from running on the streets con-
stantly. Considering his disadvantages how
ever. he was a pretty good sort of a boy, and
his sad fate has excited considerable indigua-
ton aud sorrow.
