BYRD v. BRICE

Civ. A. No. 3122.

104 F.Supp. 442 (1952)

BYRD et al. v. BRICE.

United States District Court W. D. Louisiana, Shreveport Division.

April 18, 1952.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stone, Lacour and Tate, Shreveport, La., for plaintiffs.

Ford E. Stinson, Benton, La., James E. Bolin, Springhill, La., Campbell & Padgett, A. M. Wallace, and R. H. Lee, all of Benton, La., and Louis Lyons, Bossier City, La., for defendant.

PORTERIE, District Judge.

The population of the Parish of Bossier, taken from the 1950 census of the United States, is 40,139. Of this number, there are 26,227 whites and 13,912 colored.

The record of this case shows that there are well over 9,000 white registered voters in the Parish and not a single colored one. This is enough, taken arithmetically, to give the plaintiffs the injunction they seek.
