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.

Tinsley v. Treat No. 369 Argued December 3, 4, 1906 Decided March 4, 1907 205 U.S. 20
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Syllabus
A district judge of the United States, on application to remove from the district where defendant is arrested to that where the offense is triable, acts judicially, and the provision of § 1014, Rev.Stat., that the proceedings are to be conducted agreeably to the usual mode of process in the state against offenders has no application to the inquiry on application for removal.
While in a removal proceeding under § 1014, Rev.Stat., an indictment constitutes prima facie evidence of probable cause, it is not conclusive, and evidence offered by the defendant tending to show that no offense triable in the district to which removal is sought had been committed is admissible, and its exclusion is not mere error, but the denial of a right secured under the federal Constitution.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
