; RALEIGH - The recently hand- j
cd-down decisions of the United [
• States Supreme Court to review !
j the Raleigh Speller and Daniels j
j Cousins cases i.» being widely j
! viewed as indication that trial be-j
j lore jimerow jury is on its way j
jou in North Carolina.
Despite a (tree toils decision
j that it would not review the
Daniels Cousins ease, the na
tion’s highest tribunal last
week indicated that it would
allow attorneys for the two,
opportunity to restate their
case in Its presence.
Only this week, the Supreme;
! Court again reversed itself in de- ;
| cl.-ion to review a North Carolina j
; case when it announced that it I
j would also grant review of the
I Speller case.
! In both cases, advancement was j
| Made to the Supreme Court on i
attorney’s contentions that the in-i
ihal trials were unfair in that
:Negroes were arbitrarily excluded;
from the juries hearing them.
The Daniels Cousins (Lloyd
Kay and Bennie) and Raleigh
Speller have been on death
row at Central Prison here j
since they were sentenced to ;
execution for their alleged
crimes.
The Daniels cousins were
convicted of the slaying of a
white taxi driver in Green
ville. Speller was convicted of
rape.
Both eases were carried be- i
fore and refused review by the
Supreme Court in 1950. They
look places, rcspeciiveSv, in
mg and ’49.
In both actions, attorneys .’or the |
defendants were Herman Taylor J
