Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

January 24, 1951.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

McCarthy, Snodgrass, Aikman & Haynes, by George S. McCarthy, Amarillo, for appellant.

BEAUCHAMP, Judge.

The appeal is from a conviction for murder with a sentence of fifteen years in the penitentiary.

On the night of March 29, 1948, the appellant was engaged with a crowd of other Negroes at 303 Monroe Street in Amarillo, which is within a section known as the "Flats". The only reference to the nature of the party was that they were drinking wine and all seemed to be happy. There were no disagreements and no disturbance of any kind.
