In presenting these articles, the purpose of the Review is two-fold: First, to create a greater interest among the members of the Bar in the Institute program; second, …

Corpus Delicti Proof Requirements In Nebraska Aliunde Defendant’S Confession, Richard A. Huebner

Nebraska Law Review

Proof of crime may be divided into three parts: (1) a specific kind of injury or loss, the burned dwelling house in arson, for example, or the body in homicide; (2) the criminal agency of another as the means; and (3) the identity of the defendant as the perpetrator. Only the first two elements, however, constitute the corpus delicti, and it is only the corpus delicti which need be established by “some evidence” in addition to defendant’s extra-judicial confession or admission. No jurisdiction requires proof in addition to defendant’s extra-judicial confession or admission that defendant was the perpetrator.

Fugate V. Ronin—Criminal Law Jurisdiction Of Juvenile Courts In Cases Of Juvenile Murder, Robert L. Walker

Nebraska Law Review

Petitioner, a fourteen-year-old girl, was charged with murder in the first degree in the county court of Lancaster County. The county court entered an order that there be a preliminary hearing and the petitioner be held without bail. The youth moved for a transfer of the proceedings against her to the juvenile court on the ground that section 43-2111 imposed a mandatory duty upon a magistrate to transfer the case of a delinquent child under sixteen years of age to the juvenile court. This motion was overruled by the county judge of Lancaster County. The petitioner filed in the district …

Attaching Creditor’S Right To Assert Debtors Defense Of Usury In Action By Usurious Party, Donald E. Leonard

Nebraska Law Review

The buyer of a house trailer gave a chattel mortgage as part of the purchase price and received title. The sheriff attached the trailer pursuant to an order of attachment obtained by two creditors of the buyer. The holder of the chattel mortgage, who was the original seller, brought an action to replevin the trailer. The defense of usury was raised. Held for plaintiff. An attaching creditor does not stand in privity with the debtor and therefore cannot raise the debtor’s defense of usury. The general rule is that the plea of usury as a defense is personal to the …

Law, Morality, And Scientific Method: A Review Article, Thomas A. Cowan

Nebraska Law Review

I have been asked by the editors of the Nebraska Law Review to prepare a critical review of Parental Authority: The Community and the Law by Julius Cohen, Reginald Robson, and Alan Bates. The interest of the editors was not in an expository account of the book’s contents but in a critique of the research project as a whole. I shall therefore assume that my readers are acquainted with the book (or will shortly become so).

This much about the book may perhaps be said. It is the result of a study designed to apply polling techniques to ascertain the …

Constitutional Law—Intra-State Produced And Consumed Wheat Under The Commerce Clause, Roger A. Langenheim

Nebraska Law Review

The defendant, who operates a farm in Oklahoma, was notified by the County Committee authorized to administer marketing quotas for wheat under the provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 that his farm wheat acreage allotment for 1956 was 0 acres, that his excess acreage of wheat was 43 acres, and that his farm marketing excess—upon which a civil penalty applies—was 473 bushels. Following defendant’s refusal to pay the penalty of $506.11 thus incurred, the United States brought action to recover this penalty. Defendant alleged, by way of affirmative defenses, that the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 is unconstitutional …

Bills And Notes—Constructive Acceptance Of A Check By Retention, Robert L. Walker

Nebraska Law Review

A check was drawn on the defendant bank and made payable to the plaintiff. The check was deposited with the X bank for collection and forwarded by X bank to the Y bank. Y bank forwarded the check to the Federal Reserve Bank which sent it by mail to the defendant bank. The defendant bank, upon receipt of the check, marked it “return” because of insufficient funds. The following day Federal bank examiners seized control of the cash items of the bank, and as a consequence the defendant bank was unable to trace and return the check for more than …

Pleading—Lack Of Jurisdiction As A Defense In Federal Courts, Donald E. Leonard

Nebraska Law Review

Plaintiff, a citizen of Pennsylvania, instituted a tort action in a federal district court against a corporate defendant. Defendant filed an answer admitting that the plaintiff’s action was a common law action based on diversity of citizenship. Subsequently, and four days before the running of the applicable state statute of limitations, the defendant filed a motion to amend its answer to allege defendant was incorporated in two states, one being the state of plaintiff’s citizenship, and moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Held: Motions denied. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15 (a) grants discretion to the court to permit …

Criminal Law—Good Time Statutes—Menard V. Nichols, Robert C. Knapple

Nebraska Law Review

Since the primary purpose of incarceration in prison is the rehabilitation of the prisoner, abuses resulting from sentencing criminals to definite and fixed sentences made it necessary to modify the law in some manner. In 1817 New York passed a “good time” law, empowering the “inspectors of the prison to reduce the sentence of any convict sentenced to imprisonment for not less than five years, one-fourth, upon certificate of the principal keeper and other satisfactory evidence, ‘that such prisoner has behaved well.’” Pennsylvania tried a system as early as 1790 whereby a prisoner might be released by the judge who …

Insurance—Company Liability For Wrongful Death When Insured Murdered By Purchaser With No Insurable Interest, Richard E. Petrie

Nebraska Law Review

Three insurance companies negligently issued policies on the life of a two-year-old child to an aunt-in-law having no insurable interest in the child’s life. A few months later, the aunt murdered the child. Plaintiff, the child’s father, recovered a $75,000 judgment against the insurance companies for his child’s wrongful death. Held: Judgment affirmed. The central reason for refusing to recognize insurance contracts where the beneficiary has no insurable interest is that such contracts provide a motive for murder. Hence an insurance company must use reasonable care not to issue a life insurance policy to one with no insurable interest and …

An Iron Fulgurite From Nebraska, C. M. Riley

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

From the time of the ancients man has been impressed with the force of lightning and its effect on the rocks at the surface of the earth. It was Saussure in 1786 who first wrote a scientific account of a true fulgurite, and a wealth of literature has been written about the subject since this time. Many unusual fulgurites have been described, some of which may not truly be the result of lightning. The iron fulgurite is a strange conical object about 3 inches high composed mainly of tiny spheres and filaments of metallic iron intermixed with a small amount …
