"None has been enacted by thai body since 1875. i TI1K ONLY CHANCE, therefore, for racial advancement, is through a fair interpretation of existing laws. it has always boon the belief that there has been sufficient protection in present laws to guarantee Equality of opportunity and treatment to Negroes. The past and plight of Negroes has not been due to lack of laws, but to a prejudicial interpretation of these laws by the Highest Court. v.

Fikes was condemned on a charge of nighttime burglary. It was alleged he entered the home of the daughter of Selma's Mayor. A ninety nine year term was meted Fikes a few months ago on an accusation that he raped the wife of a Craig Field airman during the crime series.

Defense Counsel Peter A. Hall and Orzell Billings lea fought a losing battle at the outset in their attempt to acquit Fikes. Judge Callen refused to grant their motions that indictments against Fikes should be quashed on the grounds that Negroes are systematically excluded from Dallas County juries. i A HEARING on this issue consumed an entire week prior to the trial which started Monday, Nov. 7.

Both white and Negro witnesses testified that Negroes had not been used as jurors in modern times. Although eight Negroes were on the venire called tto try Fikes in the last case, they were stricken by the 5 state and defense counsel. The usual all white jury resulted. The jury heard testimony alleging that Fikes entered the home of Mrs. Al Rockwell, white, and that she fought him off.

T. Murray Hhll 3 A numler of white wi tn esse from Marion. home of Fikes. testjiied that his character was good in that community, despite conviction for burglary. IN HIS 'ARGUMENT for quashing the indictment against Fikes on grounds of Negro Juror exclusion, Atty.

Ortell Bil lingslea argued: "Negro clttiens would love Hi opportunity to rve( a Juror In Dallas County. It Is burcontention that the u. fendant cannot get a fair and impartJal trial if Ms Jury la composed only of white men. "No white man can understand this defendant. To understand a Negro you must either be one or live like one.

If Negroes aro to be good citizens, they must be given an opportunity to assume the duties of citizenship. "And If the venereal disease and Illegitimacy rate Is as high among the Negro population of this county as the defense insists, then It Is a blight not only to be held In shame by the Negroes, but by tfw white people of the county as well." ATTORNEY HALL, argued, that the morals and character of the Negro citizens are In keeping of the officials nf Dallas County and they will never he any better than these officials afford them an opportunity to better themselves through schools and other facilities." The Dallas County Jury Commission was called upon to "familiarize themselves not only with some Negroes, but with more white people as well." Judge Callen, however, denied their pleas for quashing of the Indictment on, the grounds of Negro exclusion and the all white jury found Fikes guilty of the statutory offense of nighttime burglary, trie death sentence being the supreme penalty. In a hearing in October, the indictment was quashed because of jury list irregularities. Mrs. Gladys Fikes, wife of the defendant, testified that, her husband did not have the habit "of staying out late.

DEFENSE COUNSEL brought out that Fikes was less than a block away from a Negro neighborhood when arrested and accused of multiple crimes that terrorized Selma. NAACP members and Elks' rallied, the pioney for Fikes' defense, lelleving him Innocent" as he nmtends.
