suit as he presented affidavits
showing that the plaintiffs in ques-
ton have now been registered. He
visualized Amedee as "trifling with
the court"
In countering for the plaintiffs,
Amedee aside from establishing a
point of class action, saw in the
suit thousands of Negroes being
represented and that to dismiss it
would result in thousands of indi-
vidual suits being filed.
Judge Wright was definitely of
the opinion that the suit was class
action and asked the States Right
ers: as the court to understand
that you, as legal advisor to the
registrar, have advised the regis
trar that he is to register Negroes
as we'll as whites?"
He said that in view of Perez
statement concerning his advice to
the registrar, he would deny the
motion to dismiss, but stayed any
further action in the case, allowing
others to if they wish to do so.
