General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Beazell v. Ohio Nos. 247 , 248 Motions to dismiss or affirm submitted October 5, 1925 Decided November 16, 1925 269 U.S. 167
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF OHIO
Syllabus
1. The constitutional provision (Art. I. Sec. 10) forbidding the states to pass ex post facto laws was intended to secure substantial personal rights against arbitrary and oppressive legislation, and not to limit the legislative control of remedies and modes of procedure which do not affect matters of substance. P. 171.
2. An Ohio law providing that, when two or more persons were jointly indicted for a felony, on application to the court, each should be tried separately, was amended so as to require a joint trial unless the court should order otherwise for good cause shown. Held that the amendment was not an ex post facto law within the constitutional restriction, as applied to persons who were indicted after, for an offense alleged to have been committed before, the date of the amendment. P. 170.
111 Ohio St. 838, id., 839, affirmed.
Error to judgments of the Supreme Court of Ohio affirming convictions of embezzlement. The cases are disposed of here on motions to dismiss or affirm.
