In re Vaszorich

Supreme Court of New Jersey

103 A.2d 153 (N.J. 1954)

Opinion

Argued February 15, 1954 —

Decided March 1, 1954.

Appeal from the Superior Court, Law Division.

Mr. Edward F. Juska argued the cause for appellant.

Mr. George A. Gray argued the cause for respondent ( Mr. J. Victor Carton, Monmouth County Prosecutor, attorney).


Vaszorich appeals from an order of the Law Division denying his application for a writ of habeas corpus. He sought the writ upon the ground that the distribution to the jury panel outside his presence of the booklet discussed at pp. 112-115 of our opinion affirming his conviction upon his earlier appeal, State v. Vaszorich, 13 N.J. 99 (1953), certiorari denied 346 U.S. 900, 74 S.Ct. 219, 98 L.Ed. ___ (1953), denied him due process and fundamental fairness in his trial. The denial of the application as without merit is affirmed. See Snyder v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 291 U.S. 97, 54 S.Ct. 330, 78 L.Ed. 674 (1934).

HEHER, WACHENFELD and BURLING, JJ., dissent and vote to reverse the judgment for the reasons stated on the disposition of the prior appeal, 13 N.J. 99.

For affirmance — Chief Justice VANDERBILT, and Justices OLIPHANT, JACOBS and BRENNAN — 4.

For reversal — Justices HEHER, WACHENFELD and BURLING — 3.
