General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

United States v. Storrs No. 95 Argued November 24, 1926 Decided December 13, 1926 272 U.S. 652
ERROR TO THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
Syllabus
A plea to abate an indictment because of the presence of a court stenographer at the grand jury investigation and of improper participation in the proceedings by the district attorney does not cease to be a plea in abatement and become a plea in bar, within the meaning of the Criminal Appeals Act, from the circumstance that, by the time when it was sustained, the statute of limitations had intervened to prevent further prosecution. P. 654.
Writ of error dismissed.
Error to a judgment of the district court sustaining a plea and abating an indictment.
