brought back to ST Louis he was tried
on charge Of killing Preller for
the purpose OF robbery, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged His defense was
chat he was treating Preller for an acute
disease and that Preller died while under
the influence Of chlor0form. An appeal
was taken through the State courts to the
United States Supreme Court on the ques
tion of the constitutionaliCy Of the State
law OF Missouri The Attorney General
moved for the dismissal OF the writ Of error
on the ground that the Supreme Court was
without jurisdic lion.
The gist of the decision ii as follows:
Chief-Justice Waite says that in the case OF
Spies VS.. the State OF Illinois it was held that
to give this court jurisdiction under section 700
OF the revised statutes because OF = denial by q
State court of any title. right, privilege or Inn
munity claimed under the constitution or any
treaty or statute OF the United States
It mus: appear on the record that
such right, title, privilege or immunity
was specially set up or claimed at the proper
time in the proper way. To be renewable
here the decision must be against the right SO
set up or declared. AS the Supreme Court OF
the State was reviewing the decision OF the
trial court 1t must appear that the claim was
made in that court, because the Supreme
Court was only authorized to review the iudg-
ment for errors committed there, and we can
do no more.
Applying that rule to this case, we find that
OF the trial no title, right, privilege or immu.
nifty was specially set up or claimed under the
constitutions, laws on treaties OF the United
States Thus, for example. when the testimony
Of Dingenfelder was offered, the admission OF
