Government Appealed To.

Washington. Feb. 10.-Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court yesterday denied an applica-
tion for a writ of error in the case of
j. Samuel McCue, the former mayor
of Charlottesville, Va. Justice Har-
Ian based his denial on the ground
that no federal question was present
ed in the application for his writ.
His formal Endorsement on the appli-
cation was as follows: 1.-THE record
presented to me discloses no ground
whatever for a review of the judg-
ment of the supreme court of Virgin
1t by the supreme court of the United
States, The application for a writ OF
error is therefore denied"
The ground of the application for
the writ presented by McCune's coun-
sci was that McCune did not have a
fair trial as guaranteed by the consti-
tuition.
