CRIMINAL JURISDICTION
William Rail, standing in
North Carolina, shot across the
state line and killed a man in
Tennessee. Was he guilty of
murder under the laws of North
Carolina?
" This was an actual case that
occurred in Cherokee County.
Hall was convicted of murder in
the Superior Court, but an ap
peal to the Supreme Court of
Nofth Carolina in 1894 he was
acquitted on the ground that the
homicide was not committed
within the jurisdiction of this
state. The crime of murder was
committed in Tennessee, where
the shot took effect. The Su
.pi erne Court said that Hall
could be brought to trial only
jp the courts of Tennessee.
: A person cannot, of course, be
pupished if he cannot be appre-
and if he does not come
within the state in which his
act' takes effect, there is no way
ip'which he cun be apprehended
without consent of the country
or State in which he is. William
Hall followed the practice of
never stepping across the state
boundary into Tennessee.
v The authorities in Tennessee,
after the North Carolina Su
preme Court decision, applied
lor his surrender by the Gover
nor, but the demand was re
fused, on the ground that he
Was not a “fugitive from the
justice” of Tennessee. Our Su
preme Court, in a second opi-n
--ionK said that a person cannot be
a fugitive from justice of a place
where he has never actually
been.
As the result of the two court
opinions irt; this much discussed
case, the General Assembly of
North Carolina in 1895 enacted
a statute which made future acts

Carolina. Therefor*, if you
stood in North Carolina today
and shot a man standing in Ten',
nessee, either at these states
could puniah you.
Motft states do hot have a
statute similar to the one en
acted in North Carolina. Most
jurisdictions fed low the common
law, which says that the local
ity of a crime is the [dace where
the act takes effect. For ex
ample, if the act originates in
one state but is completed in
another, the crime is not com
mitted until the act is complet
ed; as a consequence, the crime
is committed in the second state.
A person in England gives
poison to a person there, who is
ignorant of its nature, to be ad
ministered to a person in the
United States. The poison is ad
ministered in the United States,
and the victim dies. Where is
the crime committed?
The crime has been commit
ted in the United States. The
person committing the crime
through the innocent agent may
be punished here if he can be
found within the United States
or extradited.

~IN IwEMORIAM
The members of the Official
Board of the Edenton Methodisf
Church, Edenton, North Caro
lina, do truly mourn the loss of
our friend and co-worker, Mr.
Hubert Williford, who on Octo
ber 1, 1960, went to take the
place reserved for him among
the faithful of God.
We shall miss the bright spir
it of friendship which never al
lowed Hubert to say no to any
one who needed a helping hand.
Through his carpenter shop, a
hobby he loved very much, pass
ed, most of our town’s people a'
one time or another for help 1
His warm smile and reassuring
manner helped us all to know
that things would soon be made
right.
Since early life until his first
heart attack, this servant of
God has been active in church
affairs. His church was dear to
hi» heart and his efforts and ac
complishments in its behalf have
been untiring and devoted.
Therefore be it resolved, that
the memory of his loyal and
beautiful life always inspire us
to dedicate ourselves to finding
greater opportunities for Chris
tian service.
