Kansas City Star Company v. Julian/Opinion of the Court

Writ of Error dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Sayward v. Denny, 158 U.S. 180, 39 L. ed. 941, 15 Sup. Ct. Rep. 777; Mutual L. Ins. Co. v.

The attention of the state supreme court was not called to any Federal question until in the petition for rehearing, and that was too late. Loeber v. Schroeder, 149 U.S. 580, 585, 37 L. ed. 856, 859, 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 934, and cases.

The judgment rested on non Federal grounds broad enough to sustain it. Cincinnati Street R. Co. v. Snell, 193 U.S. 30, 48 L. ed. 604, 24 Sup. Ct. Rep. 319; Hammond Packing Co. v. Arkansas, 212 U.S. 322, 53 L. ed. 530, 29 Sup. Ct. Rep. 370.
