Court Rules Out Death Sentence Washington, April 24 (JP)--The Supreme Court by a vote of 7-1 to- day threw out the death sentence of a Texas Negro because it founc that Negroes were excluded from the grand jury which indicted him Justice Reed, announcing the ac tion, said, jury commissioners in Dallas county had duty to seek out prospective grand jurors with out regard to race. "They did not do so here, and the result has been racial discrimtna tion." Reed said as the court wiped out the murder conviction. The Negro, Lee Cassell. was charged with crushing the skull of a watchman, a white man, in ordei to rob a store. The high court action voided the indictment, originally returned on November IS, 1947, but it left fur- ther action up to state officials.

The waV was left open for a new indict- ment and trial. Justice Jackson dissented. Jus- tice Douglas took no part in the case. Jackson objected that Cassell had been tried by a jury from which Negroes were not excluded, and he said: "It is frivolous to contend that any grand jury, however con- stituted, could have done its duty in any other way.than to indict." "The Negro's right to be selected for grand jury service is unques- tionable and should be directly and uncompromisingly enforced," Jack- son said. "But I doubt if any good purpose will be served In the long run by dentifying the right of the most worthy Negroes to serve on, grand furies with the efforts of the least worthy to defer or escape punish- ment for crime."
