Note 148 — Chapter XI · Ruef a Fugitive.
Reading edition
The two principal points on which the defense based their applications for writs of habeas corpus and of prohibition were:
(1) That Juror Wise, having sat on a petty jury within a year, was disqualified to act as a Grand Juror, and hence the indictments were fatally defective.
(2) That the matter was before the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error.
