East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway Company v. Frazier
No. 1407
Submitted March 9, 1891
Decided March 23, 1891

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE
Syllabus
When the pleadings in the trial court of a state, the assignment of error in the supreme court of the state, the opinion of the latter court, and its original decree present no federal question, and two days later, on
motion of counsel, the decree is modified so as to show that a federal question was presented by counsel and decided adversely to their contention, there is color for a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction here.
