No. 480.

177 U.S. 155 (1900)

MURPHY v. MASSACHUSETTS.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided April 9, 1900.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Ezra Ripley Thayer for plaintiff in error. Mr. Louis D. Brandeis and Mr. Edward F. McClennen were on his brief.

Mr. Hosea M. Knowlton for defendant in error. Mr. Arthur W. DeGoosh was on his brief.

Mr. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER delivered the opinion of the court.

The specification of errors in the brief of counsel is as follows: "The contention of the plaintiff in error is that the sentence under which he is now held puts him twice in jeopardy, and that such double jeopardy abridges his privileges and immunities as a citizen of the United States, and deprives him of his liberty without due process of law."
