ORAL ARGUMENTS IN SUPREME COURTAppeal of A1 Reems From Lancaster County Liquor Conviction is Up.Four cases were argued before the Supreme court Wednesday, with one of the four involving constitutionality of a court order requiring a private investigation in a contested divorce case, and another an appeal from a Lancaster county liquor conviction.This issue arises in the appeal of Frances Kreeek of Omaha from a decision denying her a divorce from John Kreeek. He was also denied a divorce on his cross-petition. The decision followed an investigation of the parties by the court probation officer.Mrs. Krecefc contends that the statute providing for such investigations does not apply to contested cases. She charges that in a contested case, it denies the right to cross-examine witnesses and involves hearsay, opinion and rumor, constituting an infrir*gement of due processes of law, making it unconstitutional.An appeal of AI Reems from a Lancaster county conviction for possession of liquor and of Vera Lechliter from a JJemaha county conviction for rape were also argued. Reems claims he had an amount of liquor reasonable for personal uses and needs. The state holds that it was not legal since obtained after prohibition went into effect, Lechliter 15 contesting failure of the court to permit a verdict for simple assault instead of rape and for Tefusal to permit a change of venue.The fourth case is an appeal from Richardson county involving title to 1,765 acres of farm land there and the question as to i whether part of it is subiect to pay- 1 ment of judgments pending against one of the litigants. The action was brought by Joseph H. Miles as an individual and as a trustee against Stephen B. Miles. Warren C. Miles, and Lewis W. Davies,4 sheriff of Richardson county.
