iff, information of the proceedings
being also wired to that official.
Judge Beatty, in opening court, said
it would he necessary to have the state
represented before the case proceeds
far, but in the preliminary hearing he
would proceed without it.
Mr.. Hawley said a principal point re-
lied upon in making the application was
that the information law was unconst-
tutional.
They would claim the law was uncon-
stitutional if it had been properly
passed, but it was passed plainly in
violation of the constitution, as shown
by the certified records submitted. On
several points it's passage was in Viola
ton of the constitution under the con-
struction in the fee bill case. 1t might
be said that the provision of the con-
stitution respecting informationS was
self-operative. But if that were the
case, proceedings under it would have
TO be under the rules governing prose-
cution by Indictment. Another question
that would be raised was that of the
right of a person to raise the issue here
When he had not done so in the trial
court But this was a question of juriS-
diction and, even if the prisoner had
agreed in open court not 90 take advan-
tage of these points, il would not be a
waiver of his right.
The case was thus brought squarely
within the provisions of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, and it was competent for
the federal court to take cognizance
of it.
The second main point upon which
they rely, Mr.. Hawley said, was in con-
nection with the action of the board of
pardons. In October, after hearing the
case at the regular meeting. the board
required the governor to issue a re-
prieve until Dec. Ii. When the board
met in December, it continued the re-
prieve to Feb. /. The contention of the
prisoner was that the board alone had
a right to issue a reprieve in October,
and that the reprieve IN each case
should have been until the next reg
ular meeting. The record showed that
the board had considered the matter at
adjourned" meeting. not recognized by
the law. These proceedings being ir-
regular. the setting of the date Of exc
cution was unlawful and the sentence
could not be carried into effect until
the district court had resentenced him.
