MootCase
Appealed
To state
Fiebigj and Boyd
Win Decision
Silence and solemnity reigned
at the final session of the Su
preme Court of the United States
of Allen Tuesday night In ses
sion before three judges of the
Supreme Court of the State of
Nebraska Don Boyd and Glen
Fiebig won the decision over
Richard Berkheimer and For
rest Fugate.
The case appealed involved
the legality of evidence obtained
by wire tapping ir. a state trial
court. Interpretation of the Fed
era,! Communications Act was
the point of law, involved.
The petitioners, represented
by Berkheimer and Fugate, were
charged with bribing a profes
sional baseball player to lose a
professional baseball game. A
police officer obtained the evi
dence presented by listening to
telephone conversations between
the petitioner and the baseball
player.
Both the petitioners and the
respondents cited cases involving
the same point of law which
had been appealed to the Su
preme Court of the United
States. ' '
The petitioners quoted Justice
Felix Frankforter as stating that
if testimony of this kind were
permitted it would defeat the
national constitution. They re
minded the court that the issue
involved was the power of the
Constitution to make rules for
state courts.
In presenting the verdict of
the" court, ftobert Ci. summons.
Chief Justice commented, "It is
the opinion of the court that the
decision should go to Mr. Boyd
and Mr, Fiebig. He then praised
both teams for their excellent
arguments and briefs prepared.
He continued by saying,
"Numbers don't always control
results. The briefs and argu
ments presented represent much
work on the part of these men
who will soon become lawyers."
"There is I always something
which drives a man on," he
continued. "When you get out
into practice all the plaques and
keys you may have won won't
win any cases. I think this ac
tivity is a fine one and we are
certainly dedicated to Tom Al
len who set up this court for
the law college. The case pre
sented taxes the ability of any
lawyer. If you continue your ac
tivity as you have here tonight
I have no fear for your success
in the greatest profession."
