Supreme Court Denies Burton Rehearing in Cane Case
The Supreme Court of the United States denied the petition for a rehearing in the Burton cane case. Former Kansas Senator Burton faces immediate imprisonment after the denial, with his attorney seeking delay. The case began in 1905 with a conviction for accepting a fee from Winston Grain Co to debar it from U.S. mail use, leading to a 12 month sentence and $2,000 fine. On appeal, the high court reversed on a technicality, ordered a new trial, which again found Burton guilty and was affirmed in May. A rehearing motion claimed the court lacked full facts.
