Parker v. Illinois.
Argued February 13, 1948.
Decided May 17, 1948.
[MAJORITY — Per Curiam:]
Per Curiam:
Mr. Justice Jackson is of the opinion that the writ of cer-tiorari should be dismissed and did not participate in the question as to the disposition of the case on its merits. With respect to the merits the judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court.
Petitioner argued the cause and filed a brief pro se. William C. Wines, Assistant Attorney General of Illinois, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was George F. Barrett, Attorney General.
