...Snatch claims that a State line cannot be crossed presumptively. ... In law anything may be done presumptively. . . . Since the law does not know that Snatch did not cross the State line, it is perfectly proper to assume that he did. . . .

Committeemen Hayes and McCann admitted they would resign before doing anything prejudicial to the big oil company.
