On Thursday at ST. Paul Supreme
Justice Miller delivered from the bench
the findings in the case of Clifton Hol-
den, the Redwood Falls murderer, in
which the constitutionality of the John
Day Smith law is called into question
or rather the lack of findings. Justice
Miller announced that he and Judge
Nelson had been unable to agree. The
points brought up were new and impor-
tant ones, and as the case would un-
doubtedly go up to the United States
supreme court it was perhaps of little
moment whether a decision was an-
nounced or not. He said that he and
Judge Nelson would agree on certifi.
cate of division of opinion on which the
case could be taken up. The judges re-
fused to reveal, except to Attorneys
Clapp and Wilson, what their findings
were.
