Supreme Court voids Poole court martial ruling
The North Dakota Supreme Court decisions nullify Brig. Gen. T. H. Poole’s court martial in a case stemming from his refusal to surrender after his term ended. The court found the War of the United States articles did not govern state militia in peacetime, thus voiding the prior judgment. The appeal traced from Poole’s dismissal from the state national guard and proceeded through district court to the high court.
