Cantwell v. Connecticut
Citations: 309 U.S. 626; 60 S. Ct. 589Docket: No. 632
Court: Supreme Court of the United States; February 26, 1940; Federal Supreme Court; Federal Appellate Court
Probable jurisdiction is acknowledged regarding the appeal of all appellants from the Supreme Court's judgment affirming the conviction on the third count of the information. Jesse Cantwell's appeal concerning the fifth count is dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction. Under Section 237(a) of the Judicial Code, as amended by the Act of February 13, 1925, the documents related to Cantwell's appeal are treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari, which is granted. Legal representation includes Joseph F. Rutherford and Hayden C. Covington for the appellants, and William L. Hadden, Edwin S. Pickett, Francis A. Pallotti (Attorney General of Connecticut), Richard F. Corkey (Assistant Attorney General), and Luke H. Stapleton for the appellee.
