Ferguson Overstepped Powers in Liquor Case clemency ruling
The Supreme Court ruled former Governor Miriam A. Ferguson had no authority to grant clemency to A. Green who was fined 250 dollars and sentenced to 90 days in Stephens county for contempt connected to a district court injunction banning sale of intoxicating liquor. The court denied Green's habeas corpus petition and ordered enforcement of the district court judgment. The opinion states clemency power covers criminal cases after conviction and Green's punishment arose from a civil action, not a criminal conviction.
