Description

The case is here on certiorari to review the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirming that of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, entered upon a directed verdict in favor of the defendants. The action was one for $5,000 damages brought under ? 1979 of the Revised Statutes (8 U. S. C. ? 43), by a colored citizen claiming discriminatory treatment resulting from electoral legislation of Oklahoma, in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment. Certiorari was granted, 305 U.S. 591, because of the importance of the question and an asserted conflict with the decision in Guinn v. United States, 238 U.S. 347.
