Young Frank Carter and Theo Thomas, confer with an attorney after they were given a death sentence in a Marion, Ark., court on the charge of raping an 18-year-old Memphis girl, by a jury which - rare for the South - included among its members one black person, Jan. 6, 1938. The alleged attack took place Christmas night. Court attaches said the one black juror was the first of his race to serve on a jury in such a case in a southern state since reconstruction days following the Civil war. (AP Photo)
