Sept. 30: U.S. Pres. issued order directing all persons obstructing ct. orders re Meredith's admission to cease forthwith. Apr. 6, 1964: U.S.S.C. (5-4) answered CA 5 query: Def. not entitled to jury trial, Clark, J.: "It has always been the law of the land, both state and federal, that the courts—except where specifically precluded by statute—have the power to proceed summarily in contempt matters." But see note 12: "Some members of the Ct. are of the view that, without regard to the seriousness of the offense, punishment by summary trial without a jury would be constitutionally limited to that penalty provided for petty offenses." Goldberg, J. (Warren, C.J., Douglas, J.) diss.: Def. had statutory right to jury trial under 18 U.S.C. §3691 because DC was source of order, violation was criminal offense under 18 U.S.C. §1509, suit brought by Meredith, not U.S.; also had constitutional right, Art. III, §2, Sixth Amendment. Black, J. (Douglas, J.) diss.: "As I said in Green [365 U.S. 165, 193], I think that this doctrine that a judge has "inherent" power to make himself prosecutor, judge and jury seriously encroaches upon the constitutional right to trial by jury and should be repudiated." DC trial pending.

Ct. of App. reversed conviction of Def.-Allen: reversible error to deny without hearing Def.'s motion to quash indictment and challenge to array of petit jurors: (1) systematic exclusion of Negroes from grand and petit juries violates due process and equal protection clauses of Fourteenth Amendment; (2) such exclusion may be raised by white-Def., not a member of excluded class, under Thiel v. Southern Pacific, 328 U.S. 217, held applicable to Ga. state grand and petit juries; (3) but, "were it necessary for the Def. to show prejudice, judicial notice might be taken that where prejudice exists against the advocacy of the Negro's full privileges and duties of citizenship, a white person active in promoting participation in government by Negroes would be the object of as strong adverse prejudice as would a Negro engaged in such activities, and perhaps stronger"; (4) Ga. Code, Tit. 59, proscribes selection of jurors on ground of race; remanded to trial court. In trial court, Defs.: moved to quash indictment, challenged composition of petit jury, re-moved motion to try within two terms but alleged that motion had been properly made and as prosecutor has not brought cases to trial within two terms of court, Ga. law required dismissal of all charges.

In order to present a complete picture of civil rights litigation in a typical, active area of the south, all Danville cases are included in this category, except denial of unemployment compensation to demonstrators (Lewis, 263.5) and police brutality (Thomas, 304.28.)

May 31, 1963: first demonstration, with permit from Mayor. June 5th: after daily demonstrations, first arrests as Corporation Ct. judge sought to disperse demonstrators. June 6: Corp. Ct. issued ex parte temporary restraining order. June 7: 3 Negro leaders indicted for inciting Negroes to riot against whites under state felony statute. June 14: City Council passed ordinance codifying broadly restrictive terms of restraining order: no one under 18 can picket; no more than 6 pickets regardless of area picketed; no picketing outside business hours. 105 arrested for violating injunction. June 17: Defs. filed removal petition of contempt cases to DC under 28 U.S.C. §1443. June 17: Corp. Ct. tried 2 contempt Defs. after removal petition filed; convicted; 90 days with 45 suspended, $25; no bail. June 22: 10 (including Atty. Holt) indicted under inciting to riot statute.

Ct. all cases removed to it by Defs. Jy. 29: Corp. Ct. made temporary order permanent injunction and enlarged its scope after hearing in which prosecutor introduced evidence re alleged "Communist-inspired" demonstrations. Aug. 6-8: 347 contempt of injunction cases set for trial; Corp. Ct. granted State's motion for change of venue to remote Va. cities. Many Defs. out on multiple bonds: $500. for each charge.

DC denied relief for failure to exhaust state remedies and no irreparable injury shown. Aug. 8, 1963: CA 4 issued restraining order against state trials till decision on merits of appeal. Aug. 10, 1964: CA 4 held (3-2): This case is not within any exception to fedl. anti-injunction statute which forbids fedl. cts. to grant injunctions to stay proceedings in state courts except where authorized by Congress or necessary in aid of its jurisdiction; grant of general equity jurisdiction under Civil Rights Act did not constitute such authorization; only in compelling instances will state ct. proceedings be stayed by injunction; held that on remand DC may restrain future arrests until constitutionality of ordinance and injunction are determined if it finds their application has amounted to denial of constitutional rights. Sobeloff, CJ., and Bell, J., diss.: The wholesale suppression of First Amendment rights alleged here would be sufficient to take case out of prohibition of anti-injunction statute; injunction is only remedy in this situation which will effect Congressional purpose expressed in Civil Rights Act.

DC held: clear state involvement in Fair sufficient to bring actions of Fair Corp. within ambit of Fourteenth Amendment; Corp's. regulation prohibiting demonstrations, picketing and handbill distributions without prior permission unconstitutional restriction (arbitrary and vague). DC enjoined Corp. to allow handbill distribution in certain public areas; held it reasonable not to permit picketing because of quasi-private character of Fair, expected crowd density, convenience of visitors.

June 1964: CA 9 (5-3) reversed, held this section of Act unconstitutional: (1) evil sought to be avoided is interference with interstate commerce, but relation between that evil and conduct prohibited is too tenuous to justify conviction under due process clause of Fifth Amendment; (2) specific intent to disrupt interstate commerce would be requisite for conviction consistent with First and Fifth Amendments, but "This statute is not susceptible of such a limiting judicial construction"; (3) section under which Def. convicted "far broader than the threat it is designed to meet—is unreasonably broad. To relieve Congress from having to wait until it can punish the act, it is given power not simply to remove the threat but to punish it; and with no showing whatsoever that the act in fact is threatened by the person punished. We conclude that this statute as construed by the DC constitutes an invalid restraint on the freedom of association protected by the First Amendment."

452.7. U.S. ex rel. Durocher v. LaVallee. (CA 2) (330 F.2d 303) Pets.-four state prisoners sought fed'l. habeas corpus because they were denied counsel in criminal proceedings later used by NY authorities to give Pets. "second-offender" status and possibility of higher sentences for New York convictions for which they were, at the time of filing pettions, incarcerated. DC, in pre-Gideon, 372.1, 372 U.S. 335, ruling, denied all petitions; substantial justice was done. CA 2, en banc, reversed for hearing on allegations in petitions: (1) there is no exhaustion of remedies question because first convictions are all from other states and N.Y. Def. not compelled at his New York trial to challenge prior convictions from other states; (2) mere possibility of shorter sentence is enough to justify giving fedl. habeas corpus, despite fact Pls. sentenced to less than permissible maximum for first offenders; (3) prior state conviction may be invalidated by fedl. court on application by second offender currently in jail; (4) requirement of court-appointed counsel in state criminal proceedings not limited to cases where no guilty plea is entered; (5) failure to advise Def. of right to counsel will invalidate guilty plea; (6) rule of Gideon as interpreted here is retrospectively applicable to all state prisoners.

Motion to vacate filed in state ct. on ground death penalty imposed only on Negro men convicted of raping white women; unequal punishment in violation of Fourteenth Amendment; Negroes systematically excluded from jury panel. Ark. Cir. Ct. dismissed motion and habeas corpus petition: matters could have been raised on appeal; original proceeding regular on its face; rendered by court of competent jurisdiction; claim not within scope of habeas. DC denied habeas: failure to raise objections on appeal constituted waiver; found contentions without merit. CA 8 reversed: failure to raise violations of fed'l. constitutional rights in state ct. appeal does not preclude raising in fed'l. habeas petition; by-passing state procedures not automatically an intentional and knowing waiver precluding fed'l. proceedings; remanded for hearing on merits.

Aug. 6, 1963: DC Cox, J., found beating of 3 Negroes in courthouse result of vexation at crowding of hall, not causally related to attempted registration, so denied request for injunction. June 18, 1964: CA affirmed: only one incident proved, no showing of likelihood of recurrence. Diss.: Purpose clearly to discourage prospective registrants, one incident of such brutality sufficient to accomplish purpose.

(321 F.2d 116) 1963: Pl. applied under 42 U.S.C.A. §1974b to inspect voting records in 7 Miss. counties. Demand letters addressed to Defs. as circuit clerks; Defs. held titles of "circuit clerk and registrar." DC granted order of inspection of clerk's records, refused order of inspection of Reg.'s records. Jy. 3, 1963: CA reversed: statute constitutional, requires only that proper person be named, his title being irrelevant. Jy. 10, 1963: motion for stay denied.
501.Miss.14. U.S. v. Holmes Co. (SD Miss., Jackson Div., Civ. #3417(J)(C).) 1963: U.S. sued under 42 USC §1971d against Co., Co. sheriff, DA, and Co. Atty., seeking permanent injunction against intimidation and coercion of Negro registrants and registration drive leaders. Feb. 25, 1964: DC found criminal prosecutions for arson, cohabitation, and interference with sheriff's investigations had been brought against drive leaders, found local white populace relatively unconcerned with Negro registration, held only violation of §1971d in past 4 yrs. was sheriff's refusal to allow Negroes to pay poll tax, which practice had stopped when suit was filed, declined to issue injunction, dismissed as to Co. as it "not a person" and not amenable to suit under §1971d, retained jurisdiction over sheriff to insure he continued to accept poll tax from Negroes, dismissed as to all other Pls.

Mar. 6, 1964: 3-judge ct. (2-1) granted Def.'s motions to dismiss; held: (1) Miss. cannot be joined as party unless there are no Co. registrars against whom relief may be obtained individually; (2) §1971c is of doubtful constitutionality to extent it authorizes "sovereign" states to be made parties; (3) Election Commrs. not proper parties as they do not administer statutes nor appoint registrars; (4) venue improper as to 4 of 6 registrars sued; (5) power to determine voting qualifications committed to states by U.S. Constitution; (6) literacy and "good moral character" requirements for voter registration constitutional, as producing more qualified, tho smaller, electorate; (7) statutes authorizing registrars to destroy records required to be preserved by Civil Rights Acts permissive only, hence not in conflict; (8) strict procedures for registration are applicable to all unregistered voters alike, hence not violative of 14th Amendment, despite statistical survey showing vast majority of unregistered voters are Negroes. Brown, J., diss. as to all procedural and substantive holdings of majority. June 22, 1964: U.S.S.C. noted prob. juris. on appeal of U.S.

June 19, 1964: Pls.-Negro "Freedom Democratic Party" candidates for U.S. Congress and Senate, registered voters, and unsuccessful applicants for registration sued Defs.-Mississippi state officials, and Miss. Democratic Party officers: (1) 1963 Mississippi legislation provides that unless political party specifies to the contrary, its electors shall be placed on ballot as "unpledged," other legislation provides that no organization may use name of registered political parties (Democratic and Republican); these provisions, taken together, have purpose and effect of denying Mississippians opportunity to vote for National Democratic Party nominee in Nov. 1964 election; this legislation should be declared unconstitutional; (2) 50,000 Negro citizens of Mississippi have attempted to register and been turned down because of racially discriminatory administration of voter registration tests administered by Defs.-state officials; injunctive relief is prayed; (3) as Negro citizens have been denied opportunity to register, vote, and participate in activities of Miss. Democratic Party, primary elections of June 16 should be voided, holding of Co. and state Democratic conventions enjoined until Negroes have had fair chance to register. Pls. requested 3-judge ct., invoked DC jurisdiction under U.S. Const., art. II, Amendments 14 and 15; 42 USC §§1971, 1983, 1985, 1988; 28 USC §§1331, 1343, 1344, 2201, 2202, 2281, 2284.

(304 F.2d 53, c.d., 372 U.S. 915) Oct. 1958: Def.-Negro indicted by all-white jury for alleged rape of white woman; pleaded not guilty; retained white atty. In trial, before all-white jury, Def's. atty. did not raise any Fourteenth Amendment questions; convicted: death. Ala. Sup. Ct. denied appeal. Def. hired Negro atty. who promptly filed writ of error coram nobis raising Fourteenth Amdt. issues. Ala. Sup. Ct. denied. U.S.S.C. denied petition for writ of certiorari without prejudice to application for habeas corpus. Gov. denied clemency. 1961: DC discharged writ, denied application for certificate of probable cause. CA 5 Justice granted certificate; permitted appeal on original record, ordered execution postponed until appeal finally determined. May 30, 1962: CA 5 reversed conviction, voided indictment on grounds of systematic exclusion of Negroes from grand and petit juries, held: (1) token inclusion of Negroes stands on same footing as total exclusion; (2) objective facts showing token inclusion of Negroes cannot be overcome by generalized statements of jury commissioners that they have not discriminated. CA sustained applicability to habeas corpus proceedings of pretrial discovery procedures under FRCP; rejected contentions that: (1) prejudicial atmosphere in newspapers deprived Def. of fair trial; (2) verdict in trial ct. based on illegally obtained evidence; declined to pass on whether trial in segregated Ala. courthouse violated U.S. Constitution because question not previously presented to trial ct.

After hearing, Co. Ct. affirmed: (1) 2 Negroes on grand jury which indicted Def.; their presence does not reflect policy of merely token inclusion; (2) Negroes included in jury venire; their exclusion from trial juries results from peremptory challenges by Gov't., exercise of which is no infringement of Def.'s rights regardless of Gov't's. motive. Apr. 27, 1964: U.S.S.C. granted cert. Black, J., as Cir. J., granted indefinite stay of execution.

Aug. 1963: CA 5 found Miami jury list drawn from list: male registered voters, women registered for state jury service, Negroes recommended by Negro business and professional leaders; found jury list contained 10% Negroes in community where Negroes comprise 12% of population; affirmed: (1) use of voter registration lists not per se unlawful, absent showing that those not registered intentionally and systematically excluded; (2) inclusion of Negroes not token; (3) inclusion of only those women who register for jury service no deprivation of right; (3) no right to jury or jury list comprising cross-section of community; intentional and systematic exclusion is test. Brown, J., diss.: De facto inclusion of only registered males and inclusion of only those females who volunteered for jury service does not meet requirements of 28 USC §1861, citing U.S. v.
