ney for South Dakota in Sioux Falls
has been advised of an important de-
cision of the United States supreme
court, in the case Of the United States
rs. Goodshot, a Sioux Indian, who was
convicted last year in the federal court
1T Sioux Falls of the murder of his d.
vorced wife. Emily Goodshot, On the
Pine Ridge reservation, and sentenced
10 life imprisonment in the Sioux Falls
penitentiary. The case was carried to
The United States circuit court Of APP
peals, the point being raised that there
was no law upon the statute books OF
The United States providing for the
punishment of Indians convicted OF
capital crimes committed upon Indian
reservations. The sIpreme court de-
cides that the circuit court Of appeals

cause OF this. the application for a writ
OF certicrari must be denied. Thus.
the contention of Attorney Porter Is
sustained by the highest court In the
and. and the question of whether or
not United States courts have the pow
er to punish Indians convicted of cap
ital crimes committed on Indian reser-
vations is definitely determined.
