McCorquodale v. Texas


No. 38


Argued December 3, 1908
Decided December 21, 1908
211 U.S. 432

ERROR TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL
APPEALS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Syllabus

It is too late to raise the federal question for the first time in petition for rehearing in the state court of last resort unless, and it must so appear, that court actually entertains the motion and passes upon the federal question; where the order is merely a denial of the motion, the writ of error will be dismissed.

Writ of error to review 98 S.W. 879 dismissed.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
