High Court Asked 10 Rule
On Police Staying in 1882

/ The Supreme Court was asked
today to review the case Of Willie
Bullock, colored, charged with the
murder Of Policeman George w
Shinault on August IA, 1882.
The appeal, taken to the Supreme
Court by Attorney T. Emmett Nc
Kenzie, is from a Court OF Appeals
ruling which had upheld a District
Court decision given in a habeas
corpus hearing.
Bullock, who had been sought for
seven years, was convicted in July,

conviction was invalid on the grounds
that premeditation and deliberation
had not been proved by the Govern
ment, as is necessary in a first
degree case based on the deliberation
theory.
The United States attorneys office
then obtained another indictment.
This time basing the first-degree
case on the allegation that murder
was committed during the commits
sion of a felony. The Government
charges that the policeman was shot
while trying to prevent Bullock from
attacking his wife with dangerous
weapon.
Bullock. in his habeas corpus pro-
ceeding, charged double jeopardy.
contending that the Government
had no right to try him on the
second indictment. District Court
dismissed the petition and the Court
of Appeals upheld this ruling.
