cross. ision of the United CWIEF JUSTICE FULLER CLEARLY SETS FORTH THE POWERS OF THZ SUPREM: TOF THE DISTRICT SITTING IN GENERAL TERM AND DE- CIDES THAT THERE 18 NO FURTHER APPEAL WkoM ITS ACTION. A great amount of interest has been centered on the appeal to the United States Supreme Court of Williams D. Cross, sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. On Monday last Chief Justice Fuller, as announced in Tur Sram of that day, delivered the opinion of the court, which was to the effect that Cross had no right to @ second appeal, and as he had | already appealed to the Supreme Court of the | District he had reached the end of his legal tether. The interest of the general public in the matter is, however, small when compared with that of the legal profession, for the de- cision upsets methods of practice which have heretofore prevailed. THE DECISION IN FULL. The decision, in full, is as follows; “William D. Cross was tried upon an indictment for mur- der in the Supreme Court of the District of Co- Jumbia, holding « criminal term, in March, 1890, and a verdict of guilty having been re- turned and a motion for a new trial heard and overruled, wassentenced to death. He there- ‘upon prosecuted an appeal to the Court in Gen- emai Term, which reversed the conviction and ted a new trial. (19 Dist. Col. Rep. 562.) “A second trial was had at the June, 1891, special criminal term, which again resulted in a verdict of guilty, and, a motion for a new trial having been made and overruled. he was, July 30/1891, sentenced to be executed January 22, 1892) From this conviction he prosecuted an appeal to the Court in General Term, which, on January 12, 1892, finding no error in the record, affirmed the judgment. The opinion, by Cox, J., will be found in 20 Washington Law Rep. 98, “Om January 21 a writ of error from this | court was allowed, on petition, by the chief justice of that court, citation was signed and served and the time for filing the record en- On the same day an order was entered by the Conrt in General Term ‘that the execution of ‘the sentence of death pronounced against the defendant by the special term of thie court on the 30th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, to take place on the 22d day of January, 18 and the same is hereby postponed until the 10th day of Jane, 1892, between the same hours opgettied in the said judgment of the said spe- “The case comes before us on motion to dis- taiss the writ of error. ‘THE GUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT. “Under acts.of Congress, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia consists of one chief Justice and ax associate justices, appointed by ‘the President, by and with the advice anil con- sent of the Senate, and holding their offices during good behavior. Special and general terms of the court, and appeals from the former to the latter, are provided for. General terms may be held by tree. justices, two constituting & quorum, while special terms are held by one justice. Any one of the justices may hold a ‘criminal court for the trial of all crimes and of- fenses arising in the District. (Rev. Stat. Dist. Col, ai 750, 753, 754, 757, 762, 763, 772; 19 Btat, 240, . 69, § 2; 20 Btat. 320, c. 99, § 1.) “By the act of July 7, 1835, (5 Stat. 306,) a q, Court was established in the District of Columbia; and it was held in Ex parte Brad- dey, 7 Wail. 364, at our December term, 1568, that under the ‘act of March 3, 1863, (12 Stat. 762,) by which the courts of the District were reorganized, the Criminal Conrt still remained ‘and independent court, although ry held by @ justice of the Supreme Court of the District created by the act, and that the only furiedietion of the Supreme Court in criminal ‘cases was in an appellate form. But by the act . 1870, (16 Stat. 160,) it was provi as now embodied in section 753 of the Revi: Statutes of the District, that the several gen- eral terms and special terms of the various courts, circuit, district, and criminal. should be | inal Court. against the respondent shall, upon the application of the respondent, be re- | examined, reversed, or affirmed by the Supreme Conrt of the United States upon a writ of error, | under such rules and as said court | may preseribe.

Upon the allowance of clerk of the court to which the writ of error | shall be directed to forthwith transmit to the clerk of the Supreme Court of the United Statesa certified transcript of the record in | such case, and it shall be duty of the clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States to | receive, tile, and docket the same. Every such | writ of error shall during ite pendency operate an a stay of proceedings spon’ the judgment im respect of which it is sued out. Any such writ of error may be filed and docketed in said Su- preme Court at any in @ term held Price to the term namyd in the citation as as at the term so named; and all such writs of error shall be advanced to a hearing on motion of either party. any such judgment shall be either reversed or affirmed the cause shall be remanded to the court from whence it came for further proceedings in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court, and the court to which such cause is so remanded shall have power to cause such judgment of the Su Court to be carried into execution. No such writ of error shall be sued out or granted unless a petition same term or within such time, not exceeding sixty days next after the expiration of the term of the court at which the trial shall have been had, as the court for cause allow by order entered of record.” Taking the sixth section in connection with the others, it would be quite within accepted rules of construction to con- clude that it refers only to circuit and district courts of the United States, and this is worthy of mention, though not the ground of our decision. THE CONTENTION OF THE GOVERNMENT. the writ of error will not lie because the 8u- preme Court of the District of Columbia is not a court of the United States, within the intent and meaning of the section. MeaAllister v. United States, 141 U.S. 174, is cited with the decisions referred to therein, as sustaini that view; but it is to be remembered that that case wer, if the disposal of the motion turned on int, the words “‘any court of the United States’ are so comprehensive that, used as they are in connection with conviction subject to the penalty of death, the conelusion might be too technical that Congress intended to distingnish between courts of one class and of the other. But the difficulty with the section is that it manifestly does not contemplate the allowance of a writ of error to any appellate tribunal, but only to review the final ‘judgment of the court before which the respondent was tried, where such judgment could not otherwise be reviewed by writ of error or appeal. It is the final judg- ment of the trial court that may be re-examined | upon the application of the respondent, and it is to that court the cause is to Be remanded,and by that court that the judgment of this court is to be carried into execution. The obvious object ‘was to secure a review by some other court than that which passed upon the ense at nixi_prius, Such review by two other courts was not within the intention, as the judiciary act of March 3, 1891, shows. This is made still clearer by the further provision that,no such writ of error “shall be sued out or granted unless a petition therefor shail be filed with the clerk of the court in which the trial shall have been had ing the same term or within such time, yot exceeding sixty days next after the expiration of the term of the court at which the trial «hall have been had, as the court may for cause allow by order entered of record.” ‘This language is entirely inapplicabfe to the prosecution of a writ of error tothe judgment of an specs tribunal aftirming the judgment of the trial court. And the case before us rhows this. ‘The Supreme Court of the District of Colum- bia, sitting in general term in review of the sentences of the Criminal Court held by one of the justices, occupies the same position as any other court with ppeliate jurisdiction. It has n this case affirmed the judgment of the Crim- The writ of error from this court considered terms of the Supreme Court of the District, and that the judgments, decrees, weu- | tences, &c., of the general terms and of the | special terms and of the various courts should | be the judgments, decrees. sentences, &c., of | the Supreme Court, but that this shonld not } affect the right of appeal as provided by law. ‘THE QUESION OF APPEAL. Section 772 reads: “Any party aggrieved by | ‘amy order, judgment, or decree, made or pro- ‘mounced at any special term, may, if the same Javolve the merits of the action or proceeding. therefrom to the general term of the Supreme Court, and upon such appeal the gen- eral term shall review such order, judgment or deeree, and affirm, reverse, or modify the same, ‘aa shall be just.” ‘And under section 770: “The Supreme Court in general term shall adopt such rules as it may think proper to regulate the time and manner of making appeals from the special term to the Beneral term,” ac. The act of February ©. 99,) forbade any justice to sit in general term } bear x from any judgment or decree | he may have rendered at «pecial term. By the act of 1838. writ of error lay to the Criminal Court from the Circuit Court of the District, and postponement of execution in ital Cases was provided for, and this was car- Fied into § 845 of the District Revised Statutes. ‘The Supreme Court sitting at special term and the Supreme Court sitting in general term are the same tribunal, but the Court in Gen- eral Term exercises appellate powers and is an appeliate court, although it may also exercise Jurisdiction in hearing matters in the first in- stance (RS. Dist. Col. §§ 770,800), and the final 18 or decrees which may be dro there by appeal or writ of error are rendered by the general term. Such re- dispute Stat. 443, ¢. 355, §1; B.S.

In re Heath, titioner, 144 U.S.. 92. Unless, therefore, as indeed not disputed, this writ of error comes within the act of Congress of February 6, 1889, entitled “An act to abolish cireuit court powers of certain district courts of the United States and to provide for writs of error in eases, and for other purposes” (25 Stat., 655), it €annot be maintained.

Ball agt. United States, 140 U, 8, 118, 129. What happened here would happen in most if not all cases if appellate tribunals were em- braced by the section. Compliance with the law would be well nigh if not altogether impos- sible. “It is to be observed that the writ runs to the judgment of the general term, yet if this man goes to his death it is not by force of the judg- nt of the general term, but of the sentence 1 term.
