JUDGE LOWELL'S
RULING WRONG
IN BOSTON CASE
Crawford c a S e To
Go To Highest
Court

Boston, Mass (CNS) Federal
Judge James A. Lowell's decision
granting a writ OF habeas corpus
TO George Crawford wanted in Vir-
ginia for alleged murder, which
decision resulted In the jurist be-
ing severely criticized in Congress
has been reversed by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The writ freeing Crawford, sought
for the Staying of two women I'm
Middleburg, Va. in 1882. was is
sued by Judge Lowell after evil
dence had been offered that Ne
groe3 were not called for jury ser
vices in Virginia. Judge Lowell
held the case might as well be dis
posed of here instead of there. as
eventually the case would reach
the United States Supreme Court.
Decision Created Juror
The decision of Judge Lowell
created Juror in Southern States
He contended that failure TO call
Negroes for jury service would
erye to nullify a conviction
of Crawford should the case go be-
fore the Supreme Court. That his
argument is we'll founded is prov
ell by the fact that in Virginia,
North Carolina, and Maryland
since the question has been raised,
Negroes have been called on pam
els and named to serve on grand
jurles.
The Circuit Court decision did
not discuss the legality of exclu-
sion of Negroes from jury service
in Virginia. but did say any ques-
ton brought up because OF such
situation was for consideration
by the court of Virginia rather
than the Federal courts in habeas
corpus proceedings.
j. Weston Allen, counsel for
Crawford and former Attorn~,
general OF massac6iyxtCss sein a
would take the case 2 the United
States Supreme Court. Allen con.
tended the Federal courts had the
right to enter the case before II
was concluded. as well as to re-
view II afterward.
Accused OF Murder
Crawford allegedly participated
in the staying OF Mrs. Agnes Roe
ing lsley, sportswoman, and her
maid. Nina Buckner. After his ar
rest here on a burglary charge and
his Identification as Virginia flu
gitive, Governor Joseph b. Ely
ordered his extradition.
Allen sought the writ to de-
feat Governor Ely's order and said
Crawford's constitutional rights
would be violated if he were tried
in State which did not allow Ne
groes to serve on juries. The Cir
cult Court ordered him turned
over to State police for execution
of the extradition order. He has
been held in Jail here.
The Court of Appeals decision,
written by Judge George II. Bing-
ham and concurred in by Judges
Scott Wilson and James NJ. Nor
ton. Jr.. said the question OF Nc
gro jury service was "one that can
be heard and determined by the
trial court in Virginia. amt il was
not intended by Congress that the
Federal court should. by writ or
habeas corpus, obstruct the order
ly administration of the criminal
laws of a State through it's own
tribunals"
