Hickory Depot Case Reopencc*
City Attorney Hufham
received a notice that the Stat
Supreme Court has granted the
rail-road a rehearing in the Hick
ory depot case.
This means/'tbat that the case
will be considered again by thf
Supreme court as if it had jus*
come up ou appeal from the Su
perior coui t. To get a reheai -
ins two of the five Supreme ccun
judges must csrtify that theic
was some important point in the
first decision that may have beoi
improperly adjudicated. Th
court will not hear arguments,
however, but will review th
matter on printed briefs submit
ted by each side. Generally the
court when a rehearing is grant
ed stands by its judgment bat
some times the decision is chang
edj It is certainly to be hopec
that this vexations litigation
wh ch has dragged out so long
will not be renewed.

which sent the affrighted dam

assured when they found it wa:
