state Wants a RehearinE.
In two cases in which the supreme court
has recently reversed the lower courts in
criminal Instructions the state has asked
rehearings. In the Brady case In this
county the court held. in effect, that the
possession Of stolen property Immediately
after the theft Of the property was not
necessarily p~resumptive evidence OF guilt
on the part of the person found with the
property. The attorney general insists
this is a wrong decision and asks the court
to reconsider It. In a similar case, that
Of Mox Wackemagel, from Taylor county,
the chief question was whether possession
Of the stolen goods proved guilt, and the
court sent the case back for a new trial.
Two murder cases have just been APP
pealed to the court, the case Of S. G..
Thiele, from Montgomery county, and that
Of Edward Dennis, from Page county. In
the Thiele case insanity was pleaded. The
case of the State against W. w. Ames,
convicted Of embezzlement, has been ap-
pealed from Dubuque county.
