BRIEF FILED
IN MUSGRAE CASE
ACTION BY FORMER CONVICT
GETS INTO SUPREME COURT;
ARGUMENT IN SEPTEMBER

The appeal brief in the Sac, 900
damage case Of Wolfe G. Musgrave, a
former convict in the state peniten-
tiary here, against John B. McManus,
penitentiary superintendent, has been
fled in the supreme court by his attor-
neys, McFie, Edwards and McFie. An
answer will be at once prepared by
the attorney general, on behalf Of
Superintendent McManus, and the
case will be argued during the Sep
TENDER term of the supreme court.
Musgrave brought his suit in the
district court here last December,
claiming damages for injuries alleged
to have been inflicted during a whip
ping administered at tht penitentiary
on May 10, 1912. "A demurrer filed by
the attorney general, asserting that
right Of action had been barred by
the failure Of the plaintiff to bring
suit within three years of the date of
the alleged injuries, was sustained by
Judge Abbott, and from this action an
appeal to the supreme court was
taken.
