FEDERAL COURT
TESTS NEGRO RIGHT
TO VOTE

Fort Worth, Texas - National
Spotlight fell this week on the age
old controversy of the Negroes
right to vote when NAACP Spec
ial Counsel Thurgood Marshall
appealed to the U. S. Fifth Cir
cult Court to reverse the lower
courts decision in the case of
Lonnie e. Smith. Negro. against
S. e. Albright, election judge
and James j. Liuzza. associate
election Judge, 4Sth Precinct of
Harris County.
A large crowd, mostly Negroes,
was present to hear the argu-
ments of Marshall and the coun-
ter arguments of Glenn A. Perry
of Houston. attorney for the
Democratic Party.
Marshall charged the Demo-
cratic Party with a loose joint
ed organization with no constitu-
tion or bylaws.
"The only resolution we've
been able to find that they've ever
passed." he said, ''is this one
against the Negro"
Marshall said the Democrats
let every white citizen vote in the
Democratic primaries. whether
Democrat, Republican, Socialist
or Communits.
"By refusing to let the Negro
vote in the primary" he said,
"the Democrats cut the Negro out
Of voting entirely because the pri-
mary is tantamount to election.
Filed originally in Houston on
April %, 1912, the Negro charg-
ed the election judges with IN
lawfully denying him and other
qualified voters the right to vote
in the Democratic primary cleo
ton in Texas 81. 1910. and Aug
ust "a. 1910, "solely because of
race and color"
The Negro sought $4,000 dam
ages and declaratory judgment
permitting him and other Negroes
to aprticipate in future Democrat
ic primary elections in Harris
| County.
A brief of amicus curiae (frienC
of court) introduced by attorney
for the American Civil Liberties
Union, argues that "any arbitrary
and discriminatory restriction on
the use of the ballot. particularly
where it is based on race, creed
{ or color" is viewed as an imped-
iment to the democratic process
and asks that the Circuit Court
reverse the decision of the lower
court.
Asking the same from the Cir
cult Court in today's hearing was
the National Lawyers Guild
which entered the case also as q
friend of the court.

At last they knew their woman and from
then on il was almost a certainty that they
would catch their man
Soon after this, Monty J. Illingworth,
truck driver, living in Long Beach, California,
with Gilmore Pearson, lovely blond daughter
Of Port Angeles banker and lumbcrman,
must have known that bloodhounds were on

But he now ran into the worst kind Of luck.
He had told everyone that he and Gilmore
were married and the only person who knew
better the lawyer who had handled his
divorce case against the woman who sup
posed TO have deserted him. The lawyer knew
that the divorce decree was still in the inter
locutory stage. He was Max Church who had
succeeded Mr.. Smythe as Prosecuting Attor-
ney in Port Angeles
Curiousy enough Gilmore had shared
apartment IN Port Angeles with Hallies sis
ter Lois Latham. Lois had no reason TO sus-
pect foul play but she and others gave facts
which rapidly chrystazed into case against
the fascinating truck driver.
First three false trails had to be run down.
one was that Halle was living IN Alaska an
other chat she had run away with a naval
officer and third that she had been killed in
an automobile accident All three seemed to
have been spread by Illingworth.
Everyday words and deeds Of eminent per-
sonagcs arc remembered and recorded, while
those OF the unimportant are soon forgotten.
But murder suspect finds himself in the
eminent class
The officers learned that Halle had been
almost madly jealous of her husband. that
there had been frequent quarrels, some ending
IN actual violence.
on more than one occasion Halle had told
her friends that If she did not leave Monty,
one would surely kill the other

told Of hearing sounds OF quarrel from the
Ilngworth room. She went in and found
Halle moaning on the bed and Monty stand

Time passed and the killer after the first
panic at reading that the lake for some mys-
terious reason had betrayed him. began to
rest easy in the belief that after all it had
given back a harmless anonymous thing
The killer knew he had knocked out two of
her front teeth but correctly guessed that this
would point no finger at him. He would have
done better TO have removed something else
from her mouth a bit of artificial work known
as a partial dental plate.

Ralph Smythe, however, did that very thing.
Also they had it photographed from various
angles and pictures printed in the leading
dental magazines, with a request for the
maker Of the plate to communicate.

knows its master. so the dentist recognizes
