WASHINGTON, D. c., January pa de.
cision was rendered BY the Supreme Court
OF the United States to-day in the case OF
John Bush, plaintiff in error, VS.. the Com
monwealth of Kentucky, which arose out OF
the indictment Of colored man for the
murder OF \ white child Counsel for the
prisoner in the Circuit Court of Fayette
county, KY, moved to quash the indictment,
for the reason that the grand Jury which
found it was selected by virtue of State
law, from the white citizens Of the county
exclusively, in violation of the 18th amend
ment to the federal constitution The mo-
ton to quash was overruled and the ruling
was sustained in the State Court of An.
peals. This court, however, reversed the
judgment OF the latter and helds that the
motion to quash should have been granted.
for the reason that the State had twice en-
acted laws inconsistent with the l4th amend
ment, and 1t must be presumed that the Of
6cers to whom was conitted the selection
of the jury in this case, acted in conformity
with these unconstitutional state laws in
discriminating against colored persons.
Opinion BY Justice Harlan, Justices Field
Gray, and the Chief Justice dissenting.
