No. 52.
Argued February 3, 4, 1896.
Decided March 2, 1896.
Baltzer v. North Carolina, ante 240, followed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
Mr. Simon Sterne for plaintiff in error.
Mr. James E. Shepherd and Mr. Charles M. Busbee, (with whom was Mr. F. 1. Osborne on the brief,) for defendant in error.

delivered the opinion of the court.

The claim presented in this case to the Supreme Court of the State of North Carolina differs somewhat from that relied on iii that court in the case of Hermann R. Baltzer v. The State of North Carolina, No. 93 of the docket of this court. The question of the power in the state court to give the relief, prayed for was by it decided adversely to the plaintiffs in error upon grounds identical with those considered by us in the case just decided. Our reasons for affirmance there expressed are conclusive of the issues here, and consequently the judgment is

Affirmed.
