Simmerman Writ of Error Sought in Federal Case
Lincoln special reports attorney L C Burr returned from Washington to file a writ of error in the Simmerman case. The writ was allowed, but the calendar likely delays a ruling for about four years. The challenge centers on alleged unlawful arrest under the 4th 5th and 14th amendments. Jack Woods, killed during the attempted arrest, was Hitchcock County Sheriff without a warrant. Simmerman remains jailed in Kearney.
