Georgia Exclusion
OF Negro From
Jury Hit

Marietta, Ca, (NNPA) = Elk
clusion of colored persons from
pury service in Cobb County was
attacked last Monday by Dan Duke,
a former Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral of Georgia who gained ma
tional prominence by prosecuting
the Ku Klux Khan and Columbians
me-, an organization whose ac-
tivities were directed against Jews
and colored people.
According to Mr.. Duke, the devise
of putting the names of colored
persons on sheets of yellow paper
was used to exclude colored per-
sons from jury service.
The names of white persons
are listed on white slips, thus per-
hitting easy Identification, Mr..
Duke said.
Defending a teen-age colored
boy convicted on charges of as
sault and battery, Mr.. Duke at
tackled the Indictment against the
boy on the ground that colored
persons are Systematically exclu-
ded from jury duty in Cobb Coun-
ty.
The boy, Charles Mo icy, Is, was
indicted on a charge of attempt
ing to rape Mrs. Martha Young
blcd, a r. year old white woman
in blackberry patch. He was
convicted of the lesser charge.
Judge J. H. Hawkins dismissed
Mr.. Dukes motion to quash the
Indictment and sentenced the boy
to twelve months.
Mr.. Duke charged that no col
ored person has served on a petit
or grand jury in Cobb County for
at least ten years.
The practice of writing the NAM
es of colored persons on yellow
slips is a carryover from the tax
receivers office, he said, where
returns of colored persons are en-
tered on yellow paper and those
Of white persons on white paper.
At the time of his arrest in
July, the boy narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands of a mob
of 800 white men. The mob yeaders
