DEFEND COURTS JURISDICTION
Superior Tribunal Claims Right to
Sustain Liquor Decision.

Oklahoma City, MAY S-The JUS
tees OF the Supreme Court didn't
take kindly to the suggestion OF
Attorney Norman Haskell, Monday,
that the criminal court of appeals was
ar inferior tribunal and its decision
sustaining the jurisdiction of the SUI
perior courts over liquor cases should
not be considered as binding. Has
kell appeared for four convicted
bootlegsers of Muskogee county-Paul
Rial, Tom Anderson, Joe Lightle and
Lee Spurlock-contending that the
superior court had no jurisdiction in
misdemeanor cases. All four men are
serving sentences. and filed applica-
tions for habeas corpus writs when
the criminal court of appeals affirm
ed their convictions.
Il don't care whether this court
is superior to the criminal court OF
appeals" said Justice Robert l.. VIII
liams. ITS a question of policy. That
court was created to relieve us Of
all that business, and when lawyers
ltigate those questions before them
and then come here to have the
sane matters readjudicated, the pur-
pose of that court Is aborted."
While the supreme court was hear
ing Haskell, the criminal court was
denying a rehearing in the Wilkin
liquor case from Muskogee county,
involving anothe' question regarding
the superior court. Wilkin was con
victed by a jury OF six and sought
a writ of habeas corpus. 1t was
shown that no objection to the small
jury was made at the trial. and Judge
Doyle held that the case could only
be reviewed on straight appeal and
not by habeas corpus proceedings.

When the report of the comm ttee
on resolutions was read it was found
that one clause 1t with Gen. Trim
ble's invitation for a 'ioint reunion"
of the blue and gray at Gettysburg,
July to 6, and recommended that
the invitation be declined. The con-
vention as a whole, however, struck
out that clause and practically unan-
imously adopted in its stead one
written by Gen c. Irvine Walker,
accepting the invitation. The resolu-
ton in part says
Whereas, Gen. II. NJ. Trimble,
commander in chief of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, voiclng the COM
mon sentiments of his comrades, has
issued an invitation to the United
Confederates to participate in all
good fellowship with the Grand Army
of the Republic in the celebration of
the fftieth anniversary of the bat
tie of Gettysburg, which invitation
is clothed in the most patriotic SEN
timents, which sentiments, so robly
expressed, We most highly honor
therefore be it
Resolved, That the United Cou
federate Veterans cordially recipro-
cate the fraternity so warmly shown
in this invitation and gladly accept
in the same spirit of pure patriot SIN
and sincere good will in which it has
been extended
THAT the United Confederate Vet

unite with the Grand Army of the

may mark the final and complete rec
