to wonder now if he will win" he

Virginia High Court
Reverses Conviction
Under Jim Crow Law
Statute Wus Enforced
In Discriminatory
Manner Ruling Says
BY the Associated Press.

WYTHEVILLE, Va. June a.
The State Supreme Court Of Appeals
ruled, in effect. yesterday that a
colored teacher in Norfolk, taking
seat by white passengers near the
front of city bus, was innocent Of
any violation of the Jim Grow" law
because the bus driver sought to
enforce the law in discriminatory
manner"
The opinion, written by Justice
John w. Eggleston, dismissed the
warrant and reversed the judgment
of the. Norfolk Corporation Court
No. 2 against Sarah B. Davis.
Justices Henry w. Holt and Edward
w. Hudgins dissented.
The bus driver, the opinion said,
made no request of any white pas
senger to move forward in the bus
andsexchange places with the plain
tiff in error, in order that she might
occupy that portion of the vehicle
required of her under the law, nor
did he suggest such an arrangement
to her. a
In effect he undertook to enforce
the statute against the plaintiff in
error, a colored person, without en-
forcing 1t against a white person
and this he had no right to do"
The school teacher, who had
taken seat between two white
male passengers on a three-pas-
senger seat, was fined IS and $2.75
costs. 1t was testified there was no
other vacancy on the bus. The
driver said she refused to move,
but she denied this and contended
that he never assigned her a seat
in the rear of the vehicle.
The higher court held that until
he had performed the duty placed
upon him by the statute and the
plaintiff in error had refused to
acquiesce therein she was guilty Of
no offense."
The opinion did not uphold the
contention of the teacher that the
Virginia segregation law did not
apply to city buses.
