The Maloofs are Syrians, and

No Negroes on Jury;
Conviction is Fought
By a Georgia Negro

Washington, D. c., Jan. 4.-The
supreme court is to be asked to pass
on the question Of whether the fail
ure in the southern states to select
negroes for jury duty is denial to
negroes accused of crime of the
equal protection of the law.
Counsel for Robert Kitchen, a
negro sentenced to be hanged in
Washington county, Georgia, for the
murder of Henry BrantIey, white
man, today filed brief in court
urging that the federal district court
in southern Georgia and in refus.
ing to release Kitchen after convic-
ton, on a writ of habeas corpus.
He urged that the failure to have
negroes On the grand and petit juries
which passed on Kitchens case de-
prived the trial court of Jurisdiction.
Counsel for the sheriff of Wash.
ington county filed a brief in sup
port of the contention. He urged
that the Georgia law, in requiring
the selection for juries of the most
upright and intelligent men," was
absolutely impartial, and further, on
the authority of the Leo M. Frank
decision, the habeas corpus was not
Kitchens proper remedy, inasmuch
as no objection was offered at the
beginning of the trial to the jury
makeup. Failure to make such an
objection cannot justly be raised, it
is urged, because of alleged fear by
counsel of mob violence if the point
had been raised.
The record shows that counsel
for the accused did urge many other
legal defenses and it does not ap-
pear that there was manifested the
slightest evidence of prejudice or
mob violence toward counsel on this
account" counsel for the sheriff
urged.
