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.

Louie v. United States No. 337 Argued December 8, 1920 Decided January 17, 1921 254 U.S. 548
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Upon an indictment of an Indian for the murder of another Indian within the limits of an Indian Reservation (Crim.Code, § 273, 328), an objection that the district court has no jurisdiction over person or subject matter because the defendant had been declared competent and because the act charged was committed on land which had been allotted and deeded to him in fee simple really goes not to the jurisdiction, but to the merits, raising the question whether the act was a violation of the federal law, and the judgment of the district court is not reviewable by direct writ of error from this Court, but should go to the circuit court of appeals. P. 550. Clairmont v. United States, 225 U.S. 551, explained.
Reversed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
