bench, as well as the rights Of
colOred people generally, may not
be explained simply by a state
ment that he was hostile TO col
orsd people. On the contrary, he
liked some coloTed peOple--seTv-
ants, messengers and BARRIERS. But
he was an advocate Of states rights
and Of race segregation. His votes
on decisions and his opinions reflect
his attitude on these questions.
In criminal cases he voted against
convictions obtained In state courts
by use Of confessions obtained
through third degree" methods.
He also voted for decisions holding
that the accused had the right 10
assistance Of counsel and an OPP
portunity for consultation, except
In the so-callsd "ScottsborO case. /"
In that case he was one of two
disssnts from an opinion In 1882
which set aside death sentences for
seven youths who were accused Of
raping two white strumpetS.
Justice McReynOlds also voted
for decisions holding that syate-
matte exclusion Of cOlOred per-
sons from grand and petit juries
denied the accused equal prOtec-
ton Of the law.
I. w. Lane, a colOred citizen Of
Oklahoma, sued three county cleo
ton officials for $4,000 damag yes
for refusing TO register him on Oct.
II, 1884. He was qualified for regis
tration In 1915 but did not get
on the registration list.
Oklahoma had a peculiar statute
governing registration as u prere-
quisite TO voting. II provided that
all citizens qualified to vote in 1915
who failed to register between April
80 and May II, 1915, should be
perpetuRlly DISTINGUISHED, except
ing those who voted In 1914. The
effect was that white people, who
were on the lists In 1914 by virtue
Of the provisions Of the Oklahoma
constitution called the Grandfather
Clause" which the Supreme Court
held unconstitutional In 1915, were
entitled TO vote. while eolored pso-
pie kept from registering and vot-
ing by that clause would remain
forever disfrnnchiaed unless they
