Syllabus

<p>An attempt to introduce a Federal question into the record for the first time by petition for rehearing is too late unless the state court entertains and in fact passes upon it.</p> <p>A denial of a petition for rehearing by the state court “after mature consideration” does not amount to any more than a denial of the motion, and does not show that the Federal question was considered or passed on. It affords no basis for jurisdiction of this court on writ of error.</p>
