State v. Morgan

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In compliance with the mandates of the Supreme Court of the United States, this court has considered the causes in the light of the Sweesy and Watkins cases and does not find enough similarity to warrant a change in our former judg*296ments. The former judgments.of this court as reported in 164 Ohio St., 529, are adhered to.

Former judgments adhered to.

Weygandt, C. J., Zimmerman, Matthias and Bell, JJ., concur.

Dissenting Opinion

Taft, J.,

dissenting. I have no sympathy for the attitude and conduct of these defendants. However, for the reasons briefly stated in my dissenting opinion at the time of the previous hearing of these cases, it is my firm belief that this court cannot affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals in either case without adding provisions to our statutes which were never enacted by the General Assembly. Under the Ohio Constitution, this court has no such legislative authority.
