Question: In which state did the disappearance of a Supreme Court Justice cause disquiet about a popular political organization?

Marie Louise v. Marot (1836) was a freedom suit heard by the Louisiana state district court and appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court.  The Court held that a slave who is taken to a territory prohibitive of slavery cannot be again reduced to slavery on returning to a territory allowing of slavery.  The ruling was cited as precedent to the 1856 landmark "Dred Scott v. Sandford" case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.  Supreme Court Justice John McLean cited the precedent in his dissent of the majority ruling.  Six of eight justices did not abide by the precedent in what has been considered the worst decision ever made by the Supreme Court. <SEP> The 1916 Republican National Convention was held in Chicago from June 7 to June 10.  A major goal of the party's bosses at the convention was to heal the bitter split within the party that had occurred in the 1912 presidential campaign.  In that year, Theodore Roosevelt bolted the GOP and formed his own political party, the Progressive Party, which contained most of the GOP's liberals.  William Howard Taft, the incumbent president, won the nomination of the regular Republican Party.  This split in the GOP ranks divided the Republican vote and led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.  Although several candidates were openly competing for the 1916 nomination—most prominently conservative Senator Elihu Root of New York, Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, and liberal Senator Albert Cummins of Iowa—the party's bosses wanted a moderate who would be acceptable to all factions of the party.  They turned to Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who had served on the court since 1910 and thus had the advantage of not having publicly spoken about political issues in six years.  Although he had not sought the nomination, Hughes made it known that he would not turn it down; he won the nomination on the third ballot.  Former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks was nominated as his running mate.  Hughes was the only Supreme Court Justice to be nominated for president by a major political party.  Fairbanks (as of 2016) was the last former vice president, to be nominated for vice president. <SEP>  It was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling New York City and New York State politics and helping immigrants, most notably the Irish, rise up in American politics from the 1790s to the 1960s.  It typically controlled Democratic Party nominations and political patronage in Manhattan from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 and used its patronage resources to build a loyal, well-rewarded core of district and precinct leaders; after 1850 the great majority were Irish Catholics. Tammany Hall, also known as the Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, was a New York City political organization founded in 1786 and incorporated on May 12, 1789, as the Tammany Society. <SEP> Joseph Force Crater (January 5, 1889 – disappeared August 6, 1930, declared legally dead June 6, 1939) was a New York State Supreme Court Justice who vanished amid political scandal.  He was last seen leaving a restaurant on West 45th Street in Manhattan, and entered popular culture as one of the most mysterious missing persons cases of the twentieth century.  Despite massive publicity, the case was never solved and was officially closed 40 years after he disappeared.  His disappearance fueled public disquiet about New York City corruption and was a factor in the downfall of the Tammany Hall political machine.
