are frequently similar to information contained in the processed main iiie s!. We process these references
if you now make a specic request for them. However, because of a signicant increase in FOIPA requests and

request these references, we will not be able to process them any time in the foreseeable future.
In addition to processing FBI Headquarters les, our Washington and New York Field Office les

. SAC Murphy, Dallas, called with respect to the investigatii being conducted in this matter. He had three questions: 6
1. Should signed tatements be taken 'OlIl U19 victims?
He was advised they should be.
_2. Ii the victims desire to be interviewed in the presence
of their attorneys, would this be permissible? He was advised that under
the circumstances it would, but that in the last analysis he would have
to he responsible for the circumstances under which the interview is
' conducted and that the attorney is the groper person in front of whom
to conduct the interview.
8. If a request is made for a signed statement, should a
copy he made available? He was advised that this is the proper action
under current regulations but that he need not volunteer.

Attorney General of the State of Issue hd instituted a
series of interviews with the plaintiffs vhioh ended in e
court of inquiry before Justice of the Peace H. B. Richburg,
allas, Texas, on éepteaher 29, 1956, at a tine vhen all

Ir. Harshsll advised that uhile the court of

aade available co ies of unsigned statements prepared by eightindividuals! which stateaents Er. Marshall adsised included
details of the alleged intimidation. the eiaiination of the
stataaents by Agents of our Dallas Office reflects that three
individuals allegedly were intervieved by representatives of

repo .
THUHGOQD MARSHALL volunteered that he could find, from his
review of statutes and decisions, no support for possible
contempt action against State officials but said that he feels
that activities of State officials constitute probable viola-
tions of Obstruction of Justice Statutes. In this
connection, he stated he feels that based on ODUM versus U.S..
116 Fed. 2nd 996, Texas, 1941, it is imaterial that persons
questioned by State officials were not under Federal subpoenasat the time of questioning. He further volunteered that he is
considering possible Federal subpoenas for all persons,
including plaintiffs, who may possibly testify in the Federal
suit which action he considered might deter State officials "
from interrogating such persons. =
The following signed statements were obtained from plaintiffs
in the Federal suit from whom testimony was taken in the

was reversed and remanded for new trial. MARSHALL stated that the
persons, plaintiffs, whorave complained as to the acts of
representatives of Attorney General SHEPPARD and local officers in
connection with the Court of Inquiry, are parents, grandparents
or otherwise have custody of the Negro children involved in the
Federal suit. MARSHALL stated while the Court of Inquiry before
Judge RIC!-IBURG purported to be in connection with Attorney General
SHPPARD's suit to outlaw NAACP in Texas, the actual purpose was
to try to force the plaintiffs to say that they did not hire
attorneys who signed the petition in the Federal suit, and another
purpose was to_intimidate the plaintiffs in an effort to get them
not to pursue the Federal suit and to influence their testimony in
said suit. MARSHALL stated he did not know the identities of any
of the local officers involved but noted that one plaintiff had
said that the officer was "dressed like a Texas Ranger" and that
another plaintiff had felt the officer who came to his or her
house was a local constable. MARSHALL stated he had no information

that any persons connected with the1
Dallas School Board had
anything to do with the matters involved in his complaint. MARS
stated that Justice of the Peace RI CHBURG should be able to
identify all of the local officers who were involved in connect
with the Court of Inquiry. MARSHALL stated that he felt it
extremely significant that no quest
of Inquiry which had a bearing on tions were asked at the Court
he Attorney General's suit to
outlaw NAACP but rather that all questions pertained to the
Federal suit. He said he feels tha
protect plaintiffs and witnesses in
of other persons to influence their

Hi .

"'This hearing is in no way related to the federal

in some instances, under threats of incarceration and economic
pressure before Court of Inquiry. MARSHALL furnished copies of

cation three of persons have been interviewed by Attorney General's

SAC Murphy, Dallas called to advise that JudgeWilliam Haley Atwell, today dismissed the petition which ha
been filed in the District Court at Dallas, Texas, in the
case Bell vs. Rippey. Murphy said that Rippey is the head
of the leeal sehool beard. In this suit the nssoeiationfor the Advancement of Colored People NAACP! is seeking to
have the school board admit Negroes to local schools on a
non-segregated basis.Inna I
nuance:
II
we had conducted investigation at therequest of the
Department, results of which were furnished to the Department
on 10/8/56. Marshall, special counsel for the NLACP, had
originally complained to the Department that individuals who
had instituted suit in Federal Court against the Dallas, Texas,
School Board, had been intimidated by Texas Rangers and
representatives of the Attorney General of the State of Texas.
It was alleged that such intimidation.was caused when such
individuals instituted action in Federal Court.

DL N3-T39
on September 27, 1957, defendants filed an appeal
to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, rrom
the final Judgment herein; entered on September 9, l957,
on October 3, 1957. the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit ordered that the application for leave to file petition
for srit of mandamus be set for hearing and oral argument,
along with and at the same time as the appeal, at the forth-
coming session of the Court at Fort North, Texas, at 10:00 AM,
Friday, November 22, 1957.
with reference to the petition on which ruling was
entered by the Appeals Court on August 27, 1957, the denial
reads as follows:
Per curism: by petition for rehearing the appellees
express their apprehension that, under the terms of an Act of
the 1957 Texas Legislature approved by the Governor on the
23rd day of lay, 1957, and to become effective on to wit
August 23, 1957, their obedience to the order of the district
court to be issued upon remand, pursuant to the directions
of this court, lay result in the loss to the School District
of some six million dollars $6,000,000.00! a year or aid from
the State of Texas and in the imposition by the State of
penalties upon the persons carrying out such order. That
set, of course, cannot operate to relieve the members of this
Court of their sworn duty to support the Constitution of the
United States, the same duty which rests upon the members of
the several State Legislatures and all executive and Judicial
officers of the several states. we cannot assume that that
solem sworn duty sill be breached by any officer, State or
Federal. If, however, it should be, then the Board of Trustees
of the School District and the persons carrying out the order
to be issued by the district court, are not without their
legal remedies. The petition for rehearing is denied.
This order filed at Dallas, Texas, by Clerk, U. S.gégtrict Court for the Northern District of Texas, September 9,
