with the statement that such procedure
had alwaya been followed by the court
and that Its legality could not be ques
tioned. The decision then continues:
This brings ns to wrist Is. In fact,
the only real question presented by this
motion, vis:
The effect during Tils absence from
this state of Justice Henshaw'a signa
ture to the order, such signature having
been attached prior to bis departure
from the state."
The court then cited decisions holding
that no Jostle could eserrlse Judicial
functions outside of the Jurisdiction of
the court to which he belongs. Hen
ehaw's assent to the order before he
left the state wsa not binding even on
htm and might have been withdrawn at
any time before the thr Justices at
tached their signatures to the order:
likewise It was held that his assent
would have been Ineffectual K. pending
the actual making of the order. Justice
Itenshaw had ceased by death or other
wise to exercise his Judicial functions.
While absence from the state was held
to be only the suspension of Judicial
functions, yet such suspension was suf
ficient to Invalidate any order slgnej
by the requisite number of concurring
Justices subsequent to departure of the
abeent Justice.

vacation of the Supreme Court's order
for a rehearing ends his light for
liberty.
-Of course I was not answerable tor
Justice Henshaws absence from the
state." said Kuef. "and yet this deter

"My conviction was the result of an
unfair trial, during which every con

SALEM FRANCHISE VETOED
Friends of Railroad Believe Action
Will Be Overruled.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. IS. (Special.)
Mayor Lachmund's action today In ve
toing the franchise for the Salem. Falla
City & Western Railroad through resi
dence streets of this city has left to
the City Council to determine whether
the road shall come into Valero from
across the river or stay out.
It Is believed by friends of the road
that there are enough votea to carry
the-franchise over the veto of the
Mayor. Some are In favor of a com
promise, while a few are with the
executive. Without doubt a majority
of the Council la flatly In favor of per
mitting the road to enter Salem's
streets, and It Is only a question
whether the necessary two-thlrda can
be mustered.
Mayor Lachmund objects to allowing
a steam road over residence streets
and to the JS-year feature In the fran
chise. The Intended franchise would allow
the road to bridge the river at Union
street and follow up Union to connect
both with the Oregon Electric and the
Southern Pacific.
