Evidence - Federal Practice - Competency Of Wife To Testify In Defense Of Husband In Criminal Case
Evidence - Federal Practice - Competency Of Wife To Testify In Defense Of Husband In Criminal Case
Michigan Law Review
The defendant, being tried in a federal district court on an indictment for conspiracy to violate the prohibition law, offered his wife as a witness in his behalf. The district court, following what it concluded to be the established rule of the federal courts, refused to allow her to testify. The circuit court of appeals affirmed this ruling without discussing the point. Certiorari was granted by the Supreme Court, limited to the question as to what law was applicable in determining the competency of the wife. Held, that the federal courts have the power to determine for themselves the …

Practice And Procedure - Direction Of Verdict - Scintilla Rule
Michigan Law Review
In an action to recover from the defendant gas company damage to the plaintiff's building caused by a gas explosion resulting from a defective pipe, the plaintiff's only evidence to prove the defendant's duty to repair it was that the pipe was used exclusively for the conveyance of the defendant's gas, and that the meters to which the pipe was connected were owned and controlled by the defendant. The trial court, by virtue of the scintilla rule, submitted the case to the jury which rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. Held, the scintilla rule no longer prevails in Ohio, …

Equity - Admissibility Of Evidence Arising Pendente Lite
Michigan Law Review
In equitable actions "the right to judgment is not limited to the facts as they existed at the commencement of the action, but the relief administered is such as the nature of the case, and the facts as they exist at the close of the litigation, demand." While this quotation may express the general rule regarding the admissibility of evidence arising pendente lite, the difficulties in its application are numerous.
Evidence - Admissibility Of Blood-Group Test
Evidence - Admissibility Of Blood-Group Test
Michigan Law Review
The old axiom, "blood will tell," has been given a new lease on life by the work of biochemists and hereditists in the last thirty years. At the beginning of the twentieth century a scientist, Karl Landsteiner, working on the means to make blood transfusions safe, discovered that the New Testament saying, the Almighty "hath made of one blood all nations of men," is not true. He found that human blood is divided into four groups, characterized by the possession or non-possession of certain substances in the serum and the corpuscles of the blood. If one puts a little blood …

Contracts - Liability Of The Assignee Of A Land Contract - Reformation By Extrinsic Evidence
Contracts - Liability Of The Assignee Of A Land Contract - Reformation By Extrinsic Evidence
Michigan Law Review
Defendant Campbell assigned a contract to purchase land from the plaintiff to the defendant bank, the evidence being undisputed that the assignment was additional security for an existing indebtedness of Campbell. A printed form containing a promise by the assignee to pay the purchase price was used. The name of the assignee was left blank in order that the name of a prospective purchaser could be filled in if an anticipated sale materialized. In an action to foreclose the land contract the vendor asked for a deficiency judgment against the defendant bank. Held, that the vendor was not entitled …
Searches And Seizures - Reasonableness Of Arrest - Use Of Evidence Secured Through Unreasonable Arrest- Statutory Changes
Michigan Law Review
Police officers patrolling Detroit streets in a radio-equipped police car stopped a taxicab in which defendants Stein and Massie were riding. From the statement of the court, the officers' attention was attracted to the cab "because it was 'driving pretty fast,' about 32 miles per hour." The police car pursued it for a block or more; as it drew abreast of the cab defendant Stein was seen to reach into his pocket as if to take something out and put it behind him. "There was something about the cab, probably aside from its speed, which suggested to officer Sullivan that …

Evidence-The Unchastity Of A Female Witness As A Ground For Impeaching Her Veracity
Michigan Law Review
The underlying question which we propose to consider is this: Has the trait of chastity any such definite correlation with that of veracity that courts are justified in using the former as a criterion of the latter? It must be apparent from even a brief survey of the decisions in this field, and the reasons given therefor, that on this question the courts are swayed far more than ordinarily by their emotional reactions. Buttressed with sentiments that cannot fail to stir the heart of the male in any monogamous community and riveted with references to religion as well as the …
Appeal And Error - Raising Insufficiency Of Defense For First Time On Appeal
Appeal And Error - Raising Insufficiency Of Defense For First Time On Appeal
Michigan Law Review
In defense to plaintiff's action for wages defendant pleaded facts showing an agreement whereby plaintiff was to accept $4,000 in full satisfaction of her claim. The jury found that no such agreement had been made and rendered a verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $7,500. On appeal by defendant the case was sent back for a new trial because of an error in the admission of evidence offered by plaintiff as to the existence of the alleged agreement. Appellee contended that notwithstanding the error the judgment should be affirmed because the agreement pleaded, even if proved, would not constitute …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Conspiracy - Conviction Of Woman Transported In Violation Of Mann Act
Criminal Law And Procedure - Conspiracy - Conviction Of Woman Transported In Violation Of Mann Act
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, a man and woman, were indicted and convicted under the conspiracy statute for conspiring together to violate the Mann Act, the only evidence of the woman's cooperation being her mere consent to transportation for immoral purposes. The conviction was affirmed by the court of appeals, and reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction of the woman. Gebardi v. United States, (U.S. 1932), 53 Sup. Ct. 35.
Jury-Evidence-Privilege Of Jury Deliberations
Jury-Evidence-Privilege Of Jury Deliberations
Michigan Law Review
The extent to which affidavits of jurors anent proceedings in the jury room can be used, when not aimed at impeaching their verdict, is a question upon which there is little affirmative authority. The law seems clear since Bushell's case that a juror cannot be punished for his finding of fact; what is more, his vote within the jury room as well as his debates seem to be privileged absolutely on grounds of policy.

Criminal Law And Procedure - Evidence - Presumptions
Michigan Law Review
The Alien Land Law of California forbids the acquisition of real property for agricultural purposes by aliens ineligible to citizenship; amendment 9b provides that proof of the acquisition of land by the defendant and of his being a member of a race ineligible to United States citizenship raises the presumption of ineligibility to citizenship against the defendant, and the burden is on him to show citizenship or eligibility thereto. Defendants, an American and a Japanese, were indicted for conspiracy to violate the act. No evidence as to the birthplace of the Japanese was adduced by either side, and both were …
