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.

Tla-Koo-Yel-Lee v. United States No. 516 Submitted March 1, 1897 Decided May 24, 1897 167 U.S. 274
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA
Syllabus
Tak-Ke and the plaintiff were indicted for murder. On the separate trial of the plaintiff in error, Tak-Ke’s wife was a witness against him. On cross-examination, the following questions were put to her: Who are you living with now? Is it not a fact that, since your husband was arrested and convicted, you have been living with this witness Ke-Tinch? Is it not a fact that shortly after this affair took place, you and the witness Ke-Tinch agreed to live together if your husband was convicted and you yourself got clear? Each of these was objected to as immaterial and incompetent, and the objection was sustained. Held that the questions should have been allowed.
The same objections made, sustained below, and that court overruled here, as to drinking of the defendant and as to what took place at the sailing of the sloop.
The case is stated in the opinion.
