i
No. 162.Oc&#39;r0Bns Tnnar, 1933.
The United States of America, Appeal from the District
A .ppeuant Court of the Uhitd Stateso U8&#39; &#39; l For the District of NewGregorio Chavez and Jose Maria .
Mexico.Chavez.
[December 11, 1933.]
Mr. Justice VAN Dnvarrrnn delivered the opinion of the Court.
By indictment in the federal district court for New Mexico
Gregorio Chavez and Jose Maria Chavez, described as non-
Indians , were charged with the larceny, on January 3, 1932,  at
and within the limits of the Pueblo of Isleta, the same being
Indian Country, in the State and district of New Mexico, of
certain live-stock belonging to designated Indians of that Pueblo.
By a demurrer the defendants challenged the indictment as
not stating an offense against the United States, and in support
of the challenge asserted ! that the Pueblo of Isleta is not Indian
country within the meaning of the statutes whereon the indict-
ment is founded, and ! that, even if the Pueblo be Indian coun-
try, larceny committedi therein by one who is not an Indian is
not within those statutes. The court sustained the demurrer, dis-
missed the indictment and gave a certicate declaring in eect
that the judgment was put entirely on the ground that when the
statutes underlying the indictment are properly consti-ued-and
particularly when construed in the light of the act enabling New
Mexico to become a Statethey do not make larceny within the
Pueblo of Islets by one not an Indian, even of property belonging
to an Indian, an oense against the United States, but leaire the
same to be dealt with exclusively by and under the laws of the
State.
The case is here on appeal by the United States under the crim-
inal appeals law. . ,

By §§ 451 and 466, Title 18, U. S. G, larceny committed in
any piece "under the exclusive juriedicti-an of the United Stetee"
is made an offense against the United States, the punishment de-
Bcribed varying according to the valtle of the property stolen;
and by §21&#39;l&#39;, Title 25, U. Q. C.,&#39; the general lawn oi the United
States relating to the punishment of crimes committed in any
place within its exclusive jurisdiction are extended, with excep-
tions not material here, to the Indian country. These are the
statutes on which the present indictment is founded.
By the enabling act of June 20, 1910, and two subsequent joint
reeolutic%, Ccngr% provided for the admission of New Mexico
into the Union as n State on an equal looting with the original
States". Compliance with stated conditions was made a pre-
requisite to the aclmisaion, and these conditions were complied
with. The admission became eective through u proclamation of
the President on January 6, 1912. One of the conditions related
to Indians and Indian lands and to the respective relationi thereto
of the United States and the State. The provisions embodying
thin condition are copied in an appended note.

That the lands now held by the various villages or pueblos of
Pueblo Indians, or by individual members thereof, within Pueblo
reservations or lands, in the Territory of New Mexico, and all per-
sonal property furnished said Indians by the United States, or used
in cultivating said lands, and any cattle and sheep now possessed
or that may hereafter be acquired by said Indians shall be free
and exempt from taxation of any sort whatsoever, including taxes
heretofore levied, if any, until Congress shall otherwise provide."
In 1900 the territorial court, for a like reason, held that the
Pueblo Indians were not wards of the Government in the sense
of.t.he legislation forbidding the sale of intoxicating iiquor to
Indians and its introduction into the Indian country. But that
decision was soon followed by the declaration, in the enabling act
of 1910, that the terms Indian and Indian country shall in-
elude the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and the lands now owned
or occupied by them. and in I924 Congress, in taking measures
to protect these Indians in their land titles, expressly asserted for
the United States the status and powers belonging to it as
guardian of said Pueblo Indians."
In United States v. Sandoval, 231 U. S. 28, this Court, after
full examination of the subject, held that the status of the Indians
of the several pueblos in New Mexico is that of dependent Indian
tribes under the guardianship of the United States and that by
reason of this status they and their lands are subject to the legis-
lation of Congress enacted for the protection of tribal Indians
and their property. We there said  pp. 45, 46! :
Not only does the Constitution expressly authorize Congress
to regulate commerce with the Indian tribes, but long continued
legislative and executive usage and an unbroken current of judi-
cial decisions have attributed to the United States as a superior
and civilized nation the power and the duty of exercising a foster-
ing care and protection over all dependent Indian communities
within its borders, whether within its original territory or terri-
tory; auigseqgiintly acquired, and whether within or without the
O! course, it is not meant by this that Congress may bring e
community or body of people within the range of this power by
arbitrarily calling them an Indian tribe, hut only that in respect
of distinctly Indian communities the questions whether, to what
extent, and for what time they shall be recognized and dealt with
as dependent triba requiring the guardianship and protection cl

the United States are to be determined by Congress and not by
the courts." .
we then pointed out that neither their citizenship, if they are
citizens, nor their communal ownership of the full title in fee
simple is an obstacle to the exercise of such guardianship over
them and their property. We also there disapproved and declined
to follow the decision in the early case of United Slates v. Joseph,
94 U. 3. 614, relating to these Indians, because it was based upon
reported data which in the mean time had been found to be at
variance with recognized sources of information and with the long
continued action of the lciiltive and executive dtplmmtl
In United States v. Candelaria, 271 U. S. A32, we were called
upon to determine whether the people of a pueblo in New Mexico
were a "tribe of Indians" within the meaning of §2116 of the
Revised Statues, declaring that no purchase of lands from any
Indian nation or tribe of Indians" shall be of any validity u.n.l$
made with specied safeguards; and the conclusion to which we
came, and the reasons for it, are shown in the following excerpt
from the opinion  pp. 441, 442!:
This provision was originally adopted in 1834, c. 161, sec. 12,
4 Stat. 730, and, with otheni regulating trade and intercourse
with the Indian tribes, was extended over the Indian tribu of
New Mexico in 1851, c. 14, sec. &#39;7, 9 Stat. 587.
While there is no express referencein the provision to Pueblo
Indians, we think it must be taken as including them. They are
plainly within its spirit and, in our opinion, fairly within its
words, any tribe of Indiana. Although sedentary, industrious
and disposed to peace, they are Indians in race, customs and do-
mestic government, always have lived in isolated communities, and
are a simple, uninformed people, ill-prepared to cope with the in-
telligence and greed of other races. It therefore is diicult to bo-
lieve that Congress in 1851 was not intending to protect them, but
only the nomadic and savage Indiana then living in New Mexico.
A more reasonable view is that the term Indian tribe was used in
the acts of 1834 and I851 in the some o! a body of hi cl the
some or a similar race, united in a community under one leader-
ship or government, and inhabiting a particular though aometimu
ill-dened territory. Montoya v. United States, 18-0 U. S. 261,
266. In that sense the term easily includes Pueblo Indians." .
Section 217 now being considered, like the section considered
in that case, was originally s part of the act of 1834. One speaks
of "Indian country" and the other of an Indian nation or tribe

of Indians". The act as a whole makes it apparent that the term
Indian country was intended to include any miceded lands
owned or occupied by an Indian nation or tribe of Indians, and
the term continues to have that meaning, save in instances where
the context shows that a different meaning is intended." Nothing
in any of the statutes now being considered requires that it be
given a di&#39;erent meaning in this instance. .
It follows from what has been said that the people of the Pueblo
of Isleta are Indian wards of the United States; that the lands
owned and occupied by them under their ancient grant. are Indian
country in the sense of §217; that the United States, in virtue of
its guardianship, has full power to punish crimes committed within
the limits of the pueblo lands by or against the Indians or against
their propertyeven though, where the oense i8 against an Indian
or his property, the offender be not an Indianand that the
statutes in question, rightly construed, include the offense charged
in the indictment.
There is nothing in the enabling act which makes against the
views here expressed. True, it declares, in keeping with the con-
stitutional rule, that the State shall be admitted into the Union on
an equal footing with the original States. But the principle of
equality is not disturbed by a legitimate exertion by the United
States of its constitutional power in respect of its Indian wards
and their property.
As the District Court s judgment rested upon a mistaken con-
struction of the statutes the judgment cannot stand.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
No. 394.-Oe&#39;ros1-za TERM, 1933.
John S. Funk, Petitioner, 1 On Writ of Certiorari to the
1 United States Circuit CourtUs&#39; Ji of Appeals for the Fourth
The United States of America. Circuit.
[December 11, 1933.]
Mr. Justice SUTHERLAND delivered the opinion of the Court.
The sole inquiry to be made in this ease is whether in a federal
court the wife of the defendant on trial for a criminal offense is
a competent witness in his oehalf. Her competency to testify
against him is not involved.
The petitioner was twice tried and convicted in a. federal dis-
trict court upon an indictment for conspiracy to violate the pro-
hibition layv. l His conviction on the rst trial was reversed by the
circuit court of appeals upon a ground not material here. 46 F.
! 417. Upon the second trial, as upon the rst, defendant called
his wife to testify in his behalf. At both trials she was excluded
upon the ground of inconipetency. The circuit court of appeals
sustained this ruling upon the rst appeal, and also upon the
appeal which followed the second trial. 66 F. d! 70. We
granted certiorari, limited to the question as to what law is ap-
plicable to the determination of the competency of the wife of
the petitioner as a witness.
Both the petitioner and the government, in presenting the case
here, put their chief reliance on prior decisions of this court. The
government relies on United States v. Reid, 12 How. 361; Logan
v. United States, 144 U. S. 263; Hendrix v. United States, 219
U. S. &#39;79; and Jin Fuey May v. United States, 254 U. S. 189.
Petitioner contends that these oases, if not directly contrary to
the decisions in Benson v. Uni1&#39;ed States, 146 U. S. 325, and Rosen
v. United States, 245 U. S. 467, are so in principle. 92Ve shall
rst briey review these cases, with the exception of the Hendrix
case and the Jdn Fuey M oy case, which we leave for consideration
until a latei point in this opinion.

,___z .B&#39;sm.c vs. United oltaiaa.
In the Reid case, two persons had been jointly indicted for a
murder committed upon the high seas. They were tried separately,
and it was held that one of them was not a competent witness in
behalf of the other who was rst tried. The trial was had in
Virginia; and by a statute of that state passed in 1849, if ap-
plicable in a federal court, the evidence would have been com-
petent. Section 34 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 declares that
the laws of the several states, eitcept where the Constitution, treaties
or statutes of the United States otherwise provide, shall he re-
garded as rules of decision in trials at common law in the courts
of the United States in cases where they apply; but the court said
that this referred only to civil cases and did not apply in the trial
of criminal olifenses against the United States. It wasrconccded
that there was no act of Congress prescribing in express words
the rule by which the federal courts would be governed in the ad-
mission of testimony in criminal cases. But, the court said
 p. 363!, we think it may be found with sufticient certainty, not
indeed in direct terms, but by necessary implication, in the acts
of 1789 and 1790, establishing the courts of the United States, and
providing for the punishment of certain offences,"
The court pointed out that the Judiciary Act regulated certain
proceedings to be had prior to impaneling the jury, but contained
no express provision concerning the mode of conducting the trial
after the jury was sworn, and prescribed no ruleiin respect of the
testimony to be taken. Obviously however, it was said, some cer-
tain and established rule upon the subject was necessary to enable
the courts to administer the criminal jurisprudence of the United
States, and Congress must have intended to refer them to some
known and established rule "which was supposed to be so familiar
lld well understood in the trial by jury that legislation upon the
subject would be deemed superuous. This is necessarily to be
implied from what these acts of Congress omit, as well as from
what they contain."  p. 365.} The court concluded that this
could not be the common law as it existed at the time of the emi.
grallcn of the colonists, or the rule which then prevailed in
land, and [therefore] the only known rule which could be Stlp.
posed to have been in the mind of Congress was that which was
in force in the respective states when the federal courts were es-
tablished by the Judiciary Act of 1789. Applying this rule, it
was decided that the witness was incompetent.

a party to or interested in the issue tried; and that in I878  c.
37, 20 son. 30! Congress made the defendant in any criminal
case a competent witness at his own request. The Opinion then
continues  p. 337!:
Legislation of similar import prevails in most of the States.
The spirit of this legislation has controlled the decisions of the
courts, and steadily, one by one, the mcrll technical barrier
which excluded witnesses from the stand have been removed, till
now it is generally, though perhaps not universally, true that no
one is excluded therefrom unlem the lips of the originally adverse
party are closed by death, or unless some one of those peculiarly
condential relations, like that of husband and wife, forbids the
breaking of silence.
 . . . If interest and being party to the raord do not ex-
clude a defendant on trial from the witness stand, upon what rea-
soning can a codefendant, not On trial, be adjudged incompetent l"
That case was decided December 5, 1892. Twenty-ve years
later this court had before it for consideration the case of Rose»
v. United States, supra. Roaen had been tried and convicted in a
federal district court for conspiracy. A person jointly indicted
with Rosen, who had been convicted upon his plea of guilty, was
called as a witness by the government and allowed to testify over
Rosen&#39;s objection. This court sustained the_con1petcncy of the
witness. After saying that while the decision in the Reid case had
not been specically overruled, its authority was seriously shaken
by the decisions in both the Logan and Benson cases, the court pro-
ceeded to dispose of the question, as it had been disposed of in the
Benson case, in the light of general authority and sound reason."
In tho almost twenty [twenty-ve} years, the court said,
which have elapsed since the decision of the Benson Case, the
disposition of courts and of legislative bodies to remove disabili-
tim from witnesses has continued, as that decision shows it had
been going forward before, under dominance of the conviction of
our time that the truth is more likely to be arrived-at by hearing
the testimony of all persons of competent understanding who may
seem to have knowledge of the facts involved in a case, leaving the
credit and weight of such testimony to be determined by the jury
or by the court, rather than by rejecting witnesses as incompetent,
with the result that this principle has come to be Widely, almost
universally, accepted in this country and in Great Britain.

The court found from what the Mngreggiilngllegislation omitted to say, as well as from what it actually saidflint m estafbhhll-18 _T-he federal courtain 1789 some denite ruleEfiefpet ° _th"f t{$t_1&#39;Il°"Y to be taken to criminal cases must haveWe "1 we mm °f 0&#39;-msrc; and the rule which the court thought
was in the mind of that body was that of the common law as itexisted in the thirteen original states in I789. The L0gt|1| casein part rejected that view and held that the controlling rule wasthat of the common law in force at the time of the admission of
the state in which the particular trial was had. Taking the two
cas together, it is plain enough that the ultimate doctrine an.DO1ll106d is that in the tokmg of tiammony in criminal eases, thefederal °°m&#39; are b°1"1d by the rules of the common law as theyexisted at a denitely specied time in the respective states, uniCongress has otherwise provided. &#39;

the common law itself by force of these changed conditions. Thus,
as we have seen, the court in the Benson case pointed to the
tendency during the preceding years to enlarge the domain of
competency, signicantly saying that the changes had been wrought
not only by legislation but also partially by judicial construe-
tion"; and that it was the spirit  not the letter be it observed! of
this legislation which had controlled the decisions of the courts
and steadily removed the merely technical barriers in respect of in-
competency, until generally no one was excluded from giving
testimony, except under certain peculiar conditions which arc
set forth. It seems difficult to escape the conclusion that the spe-
cic ground upon which the court there rested its determination
as to the competency of a eodefendant was that, since the dc-
fendant had been rendered competent, the competency of the co-
defs-ndant followed as a natural consequence.
This view of the matter is made more positive by the decision
in the Rosco case. The question of the testimonial competency of
a person jointly indicted with the defendant was disposed of, as
the question had been in the Benson case, in the light of general
authority and sound reason." The conclusion which the court
reached was based not upon any denite act of legislation, but
upon the trend of congressional opinion and o!.legi.s&#39;lation  that
is to say of legislation generally!, and upon the great weight of
judicial authority which, since the earlier decisions, had developed
in support of a more modern rule. In both cases the court neces-
sarily proceeded upon the theory that the resultant modication
which these important considerations had wrought in the rules of
the old common law was within the power of the courts to declare
and make operative.
That the present case falls within the principles of the Benson
and Rosco cases, and especially of the latter, we think does not
reasonably admit of doubt.
The rules of the common law which disqualiedeaa witnesses
persons having an intermt long since in the main have becn
abolished both in England and in this country; and what wan once
regarded as a suicient ground for excluding the testimony of
such persons altogether has come to be uniformly and more sen~
sibly regarded as afecting the credit of the witness only, What.
ever was the danger that an interested witness would not speak

the truthand the danger never was as great as cla.i|ned»~its eect
has been minimized almost to the vanishing point by the test of
cross-examination, the increased intelligence of jurors, and perhaps
other circumstances. The modern rule which has removed the dia-
qualication from persons accused of crime gradually came into
force after the middle of the last century, and is today universally
accepted. The exclusion of the husband or wife is said by this court
to be based upon his or her interest in the event. Jin Fug Hay
v. U nited States, supra. And whether by thi is meant a practical
interest in the result of the prosecution or merely I sentimental
interest because of the marital relationship, makes little dierence.
In either case, a refusal to permit the wife upon the ground of
interest to testify in behalf of her husband, while permitting him,
who has the greater interest, to testify for himself, presents a.
manifest incongruity.
Nor can the exclusion of the witea testimony, in the face of the
broad and liberal extension of the rules in respect of the com-
petency of witnaiaes generally, be any longer justified, if it ever
was justied, on any ground of public policy. It has been said
that to admit such testimony is against public policy because it
would endanger the harmony and condence of marital relations,
and, moreover, would subject the witness to the temptation to com-
mit perjury. Modern legislation, in making either spouse com-
petent to testify in behalf of the other in criminal cases, has de-
nitely rejected these notions, and in the light of such legislation
and of modern thought they seem to be altogether fanciful. The
public policy of one generation may not, under changed conditions,
be the public policy of another. Potion v. United Slates, 281 U. S.
276, 306.
The fundamental basis upon which all rules of evidence must
rest-if they are to rest upon reasoni8 their adaptation tn the
successful development of the truth. And since experience i Of
all teachers the most dependable, and since cilperience also is a
continuous process, it follows that a rule of evidence at one time
thought necessary to the ascertainment of truth should yield tn the
experience of a succeeding generation whenever that experience
has clearly demonstrated the fallacy or unwiadom of the old rule.
It may be said that the court should continue to enforce the old
rule, however contrary to modern experience and thought, and

however opposed, in principle, to the general current of legislation
and of judicial opinion, it may have become, leaving to Congress
the responsibility of changing it. Of course, Congress has that
power; but if Congress fail to act, as it has failed in re~
spect of the matter now under review, and Lhe court be called
upon to decide the question, LJ it not the duty of the court,
if it possess the power, to decide it in accordance with present
day standards of wisdom and justice rather than in accordance
witr. some outworn and antiquated rule of the past! That
this court has the power to do so is necessarily implicit in the
opinions delivered in deciding the Bemnm and Rosco cases. And
that implication, we think, rests upon substantial ground. The
rule of the common law which denies the competency of one spouse
to testify in behalf of the other in a criminal prosecution has not
been modied by congressional legislation; nor has Congress di-
rected the federal courts to follow state law upon that subject, as
it has in respect of some other subjects. That this court and the
other federal courts, in this situation and by right of their own
powers, may decline to enforce the ancient rule of the common law
under conditions as they now exist we think is not fairly open to
doubt
In Hurtado V. California, 110 U. S. 516, 530, this court, after
suggesting that it was better not to go too far back into antiquity
for the beat Securities of our liberties, said:
It is more consonant to the true phll0S01Jl1_Y of our historical
legal institutions to say that the spirit of personal liberty and in-
dividual right, which they embodied, was preserved and developed
by a progressive growth and wise adaptation to new oironnmnincea
and nituations of the forms and processes found t to give, from
time 11, time, new eapremion and greater effect to modern ideas of
self-government.

 . . . and as it was the characteristic principle of the
common law to draw its inspiration from every fountain of justly;-,
we are not to assume that the sources of its supply have been ex-
llllsted. On the contrary, we should expect that the new and
Vafiwi PXPB1&#39;l¬1JCcB of Our own situation and system will mould

The nal question to which we are thus brought is not that 0!
the power of the federal courts to amend or repeal any given rule
or principle of the common law, for they neither have nor claim
that power, but it is the question of the power of these courts, in
the complete absence of congressional legislation on the subject,
to declare and eectuete, upon common law pi-inciplm, what is the
present rule upon n given subject in the light of fundamentally
altered conditions, without regard to what has previously been de-
clared and practiced. It has been said so often as to have become
axiomatic that the common law is not immutable but exible, nd bi
its own principles adapts itself to varying conditions. In Ketohan
v. Slz, 184 Ind. 702, the supreme court of that state, after pointing
out that the common law of England was based. upon usagw, cus-
toms and institutions of the English people as declared from time
to time by the courts, said  p. ll-*?l=
The rules so deduced from this system, however, were continu-
ally changing and expanding with the progress of society in the
application of this system to more diversied circumstances End
under more advanced periods. The common law by its own
prineipla adapted itself to varying condition and modied
its own rules so as to serve the ends of justice as prompted by
a course of reasoning which was guided by these generally ac¢9Pl-ed
truths. One of its oldest maxims was that where the reason of a
rule ceased, the rule also ceased, and it logically followed that
when it occurred to the courts -that a particular rule had never
been founded upon reason, and that no reason existed in support
thereof, that rule likewise ceased, and perhaps another sprang up
in its place which was based upon reason and justice as then eon-
ceived. No rule of the common law could survive the reason on
which it was founded. It needed no statute to change it hut abro-
gated itself. ii

This means that no law can survive the reasons on which it is
founded. It needs no statute to change it; it abrogates itself. If
the reasons on which a law rests are overbornc by opposing reasons,
which in the progress of society gain a controlling force, the old
law, though still good as an abstract principle, and good in its a,-3-
plication to some circumstances, must cease to apply as a mm.

Numerous additional state decisions to the same eect might he
cited; but it seems unnecessary to pursue the matter at greater
length.
It results from the foregoing that the decision of the court below,
in holding the wife incompetent, is erroneous. But that decision
wag based primarily upon Hendrix V. Urlild States and Jin F1463!
Hog v. United States, supra, and in fairness to the lower court
it should be said that its decision was fully supported by those
cases.

simply recites the assignment of error to the eect that the wife
of Hendrix had not been allowed to testify in his behalf, and dis-

posed of the question by saying that the rule which excludu a
wife from testifying for her husband is based upon her lnteraat

she might give. The point does not seem to have been considered
by the lower court to which the writ of error was addressed 53

- Jim Donovan of United Press called to request the reason as to
why twenty-one Bureau Agents would seek admission to the Supreme Court today.
They have had two or three inquiries from clients as to the significance of this.
I told Donovan that there was no significance; that they were Agents who were
eligible to seek adrnission to the Supreme Court and that since admissions are
moved only at periodic intervals, this obviously was an accumulation.
I think it might be well to watch this in the future and seek to
discourage such large groups as this seeking admission.

*_ unmitigated castigation for the Committee, its power to inter- fere with personal activities of citizens and indicated very-..,,___!

It being obvious that Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point, place

In the latest opinion-the
case oi Frank Wilkinson, who
reiused to give even his place
oi residence -to -the House
Comrnittee_-- on Un-American
Activities-the majority of
the Justices repeated a state-
ment rrorn a previous deci-
sion which said:
"To suzaest that because
the Communist Party may
also sponsor peaceable politi-
cal reiorms the constitutional
issues before us should now
be iudsed as it that party
were just an ordinary politi-
cal party from the stand-
point oi national security. is
to ask this court to blind
itself to World affairs which
have deternrined ihewhole

What the majority of the
court says is supposed to be
"the law of the land." but
it is being scorned-in the
companion case oi Carl Bra-
den-by Justice Black. with
Chief Justle Warren and
Justice Douglas azreeine. In
this dlssentlna opinion these
words of defiance are issued:
The founders or this Na-
tion were not then willing
to trust the denition oi
First amendment freedoms
to Congress or this court, hor
am I now." &#39; *

investigations is to expose
the espionage and subversive
activities oi the whole Com-
munist apparatus in the
United States. Loyal Ameri-
can citizens are expected to

Government in all its
branches. The Communists
have stolen atomic secrets.
They have at times infil-
trated the departments in
Washlnston. The Supreme
Court in the past has taken
yihe view that it isn&#39;t a right
ettree speech ialsely to cry
Fire!1&#39; in a Crowded theater.
-Nor does the "free speech"
clause oi the Constitution
give anyone immunity from
Fan investigation to determine
whether he belongs to a party
that is financed by. insti-
gated by, and often directed
by a foreign government
which lo seeking to damage

Justice Black argues that
editors and ncwsmen who
have criticized a congres-
sional committee now could
be brought before that same
oornmittee and punished 101&#39;
-refusing to answer questions.
But whenever there.is basis
for suspecting that a news-
paperman ls paid by or work-
he shouldn&#39;t be able to claim
immunity under the First
Amendment, either.
The I-louse Committee on
Un-American Activities is
under attack these days by
so-called "liberals" who will
be encouraged now by the
dissenting opinions oi the

their campaign to curtail, ii

ieniiers oi America&#39;s safety

Washington Field Office, advised that this
erne Court in an eight to nothing decision writti
by Mr. Justice Black ruled that a man can lose his right to remain in court ii
his conduct is such that it disrupts the court.
The ruling was handed down in a State of Illinois case involving
William Allen, who had been convicted for armed robbery and sentenced to ten
to thirty years. During his trial, Allen was abusive toward the judge and was
warned that his conduct would result in his being removed from the court. WI
he persisted, he was removed but allowed back  he would behave himseli.
When he continued his abuse, he was removed from the courtroom during his
trial.° §-F92I391 mfig 1.11%
He filed a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District to/m~lalleging he had been denied his right to remain in the courtroom during his
trial. The United States District Court denied his writ, and the United States
51 APR1C&#39;.§/U;&#39;?th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court. The case was thenQ  I [remanded to the United States Supreme Court.
This morning the United StatesSupreme Court, as mentioned above
by an eight to nothing decision ruled that _a..anan can lose his right to remain in

Mr. McGuire in the Department called and advised the-.
he has recontacted the Chief Justice of the Sup eme Court and in AK -formed him that this matter was being referre to the Bureau for """""""" "
investigation and that the direction of th nvestigetion would
hereafter be in your hands. Chief Juetice ughes requested that
the Agent who is going to conduct this investigation contact him
at his home, 2223 R Street, tomorrow morning at 9:30 A. M., in
order that the Chief Justice can indicate his views in the situation.I
The case is not particularly involved and should not re~
more than two days to oomglete. I believe that it would be
however, for two men to jo n conduct all interviews in theand recommend that Agents  and A. Regen of the
Field Office be designated for this assignment. If you epprove this
_ selection, they will be instructed to contact the Chief Justice at
his residence tomorrow morning and will be furnished with the basic
facts in the situation meanwhile.

The substance of this informatin was furnished to the Attorney General in _a
personal and confidential lemorandum, with the request that the Bureau be 
advised if an investigation was authorized, it being noted that the Justices
of the Suprele Court did not know of this occurrence. The attorney General
1 - evidently referred the matter to Mr. Keenan, who in turn referred it to the
?<  Criminal Division, and Ir. llcGuire of the Criminal Division called me about
only secondarily. _&#39;*"&#39;l-aw
.-one o&#39;clock today to advise that pursuant to a request from the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court to discuss this matter with someone who was familiar wit}
the facts, he, llcduire, had gone to the Supreme Court this morning and laid
the facts before Chief Justice Hughes, pointing out that he knew the facts
IcGuire said that upon his return to his own office, he found a note of a
" S &#39; call from Chief Justice Hughes expressing a desire to discuss the matter
further with someone intimately acquainted with the details. llccuire said
he had informed the Chief Justice that he, IcGuire, would instruct the
Special Agent who had initiated the investigation of this matter to report
&#39; -~ to the Supreme Court at 4:30 this afternoon to discuss the matter furtherS b7 / with the Chief Justice.
I informed IlcGuire that the Bureau had not initiated any investigation into
this matter since we were awaiting Departmental instructions; that conse-
--  quently, there was no agent available who was intimately in possession.-§__~&#39;f3-fi 43of all the facts. I told Icduire that it would appear the logical thing
to have done in the beginning would be to have celled upon the Director of
&#39; the Bureau, or someone designated by him, to present the facts to the Chief
a Justice, and that since Ilcihxire had already presented the facts to the Chief

Iemo for the Director -2- 10/15/3:
had handled the matter thus far, he light notify the secretary to Justice
Hughes that the Department had no information other than that which he had
previously been furnished.
The impression I obtained from talking with Icuire is that he had
"big timed" himself to the Chief Justice this morning, and had announced
that he would instruct the Director of the Bureau to do. Consequently,
I believe that until the Bureau receives some written authorization
from the Department to conduct this investigation, we should let McGuire
get himself out of the situation into which he has placed himself.

ieu aorandum of October 10, with reference &#39; o  "
he also that you have sent 1 copy 0 memo
to Ir. Keenan.
I would suggest that you confer personally with Ir.
Keenan and determine upon a course of action. Iour memorandum
does not clearly indicate whether or not the Chief Justice hasyet been advised by Ierehewaf the developments ref rred1.0. It rather strikes me t would be best for law
to submit the nutter to the Chief Justice and that there he
l|&#39;.B.I. should follow a course approved by the Chief Justice,
If you and Ir. Keenan take this view, I would be glad
if you would proceed along the lines suggested.
