Opinion of the Court

Motion to amend remittitur granted. Return of remittitur requested and when returned, it will be amended by adding thereto the following: Upon the appeal herein there was presented and necessarily passed upon a question under the Constitution of the United States, viz.: Whether the rights of defendant under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments were denied.
