Rehearing Denied On Wilkinson Plea In Alabama Case
Alabama Supreme Court refused a rehearing on Horace Wilkinson's appeal seeking to block the Democratic primary in Jefferson County. The court affirmed dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, tying the case to a 1929 state election dispute. The justices also upheld the 1927 five gallon law’s constitutionality in Joe Hayes’s related appeal.
