MR. SMITH: I have one available. Now, if Your Honor please, after this one, the rest of them won't be available until tomorrow morning. TIIE COURT: All right. What is the nature of your -- MR. SMITH: They are to prove directly that Mr. Shaw used the paddle excessively, all of them. THE COURT: All right. And you have completed your proof through Mr. Carothers and anybody else that knew anything about it concerning Mr. Shaw's — the circumstances under which he was discharged? MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. TIIE COURT: What I am exploring is : can we hear from your one witness and then shift over to Mr. Shaw’s proof with the right to put him back on in the light of any 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 4 witnesses you have -- he gets to stay in the courtroom anyway --- because we have an issue of, as I observed before, of his being in a different status. I am not convinced that the tests in Rolf were, met with regard to Mr. Shaw. Of course, this is primarily Mr. Williams' problem, quite frankly --- you can sit down, Mr. Smith. I did not mean to trap you on your feet -- quite frankly, I bridged the jurisdictional gap in my mind because we have clearly a resulting nonhiring of the twelve plaintiffs in McFerren because of the desegregation orders. This was purely and simply to replace teachers who were estimated spaces -- of course, it was under estimated rather than over-estimated -- and then you run into some procedural problems after that. But, as I indicated earlier, I am not pursuaded that Mr. Shaw, because he was not rehired, and the minutes, excerpt from the minutes indicate he was uncooperative. Now, we may iiave a procedural due process question but I associate that 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 5 in the McFerren case with the basic fact that all of it was due to a desegregation order. And Mr. Shaw is not in that category automatically, which I think the burden of -- v;hile the initial burden might be on the School Board, the ultimate burden of showing discrimination is on the plaintiff. Rolf started with the proposition -- and my Tipton County case wasn’t hard because in those days what they were doing was, it was pure and simple, pure and simple they had not really desegregated the faculty and they were observing if they were using any objective standards they were applying, they were discharging or not hiring black teachers in comparing them to the other black teachers. We don’t have that, and this is the point I am not sure of under Rolf. So, Mr. Williams, what I am really getting around to is can we put on some of your proof this afternoon? MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 6 in regard to Shaw. that is going to be difficult because naturally I did not -- my proof really is kind of -- the proof that I would put on after this would be primarily defensive because I take the position, if Your Honor please, that the statistical evidence that we have shown and the proof that we have shown regarding the impending desegregation in !69 of elementary schools, the fact of his being the last single male being discharged, when buttressed by the proof of that alone, if Your Honor please, might not have been sufficient to pursuade the Court, but when buttressed by the additional proof shown in McFerren case, apart from the desegregation issue, that of the 13 black teachers that they selected, five of them were black males and four of those five black males removed the last single black male in the system except for one doing auto mechanics, and then they only hired one additional, one black male over the summer, single, or married rather, whereas 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 7 they hired several whites, that the statistical evidence, if Your Honor please, is pursuasive, and it is difficult ---- you have to sort of rely on statistical evidence. Now, if Your Honor please, I also have some defensive evidence in response to what they say but I take it that would come after they have put on the direct evidence, the remainder of whatever direct evidence they have with regard to the paddling and that sort of thing. But they have already put on some evidence with regard to the paddling in the person of Superintendent Carothers. If the Court please, I take it that the Court has granted my application to amend the complaint so as to allege the violation of due process in the case of Hr. Shaw, and I intend to rely on that most strenuously also. So that would be two things with regard to Mr. Shaw. THLi COURT: In case I did not observe in, I intend to grant that motion in view 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 8 of this later issue. Nov/, I did not mean to imply that I ruled similarly in Mr. Shaw's case with regard to procedural due process or any other due process, and I am aware, Mr. Williams, that in cases of this sort, as we have in all of our -- whether it is an EEOC case or anything, when you go to specific discrimination you have to rely on statistics and what I call circumstantial evidence, but in any event I take it that you have no proof that you know of; that is, other than defensive; is that correct? MR. WILLIAMS: That is correct, if Your Honor please, except for that that I have already put on. MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, we are in a terribly strange position by now. Has Your Honor consolidated the Shaw case with the McFerren case going on? THE COURT: For purposes of the hearing, yes . MR. CRENSHAW: For purposes of this hearing. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 9 We have been able to show Mr. Shaw's discharge was a --- by this Court' in the McFerren case, as being a discharge where there are allegations of discrimination. In essence, if you have a school system which is operating under Court order not to discriminate in the hiring and firing of faculty, and a teacher is fired, there are allegations, substantial allegations of discrimination surrounding the firing. It is certainly apparent in the original school desegregation testimony, so that Mr. Shaw may be raised independently in the McFerren case. TIIE COURT: All right. Well, Mr. Crenshaw, I have consolidated them and I am not saying I ara going along with your reasoning, but we have to hear the remainder of the Shaw case. MR. CRENSHAW• We withdraw our contention to our general statistical proof in our teaching racial ratio in the course of the year which would be -- TIIF. COURT: All right. Counsel should 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 10 make their plans that the cases have been consolidated for purposes of the hearing and you may rely on the proof because there liras been offered one witness, Mr. Bagwell, for example, didn't know much about the Shaw case but some of his interrogatories are relied on, and Mr. Carothers testified as to both, although he had very little complaint, but the proof is so intertwined that you are either bound by or stuck with, as the case may be, the proof of the whole hearing. Suppose I do this, and come back about 1*45. We will hear your witness, Mr. Smith, and if there is any possibility of getting any more we will probably have time to hear them. If not, then I would ask you, when we finish, we will let you gentlemen work some on this stipulation and then we will plan to finish the Shaw hearing tomorrow and hopefully the hearing. Then, Mr. Johnson, because I feel that I have to move along on this, I am going to reset the case you asked me about 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 11 that involves your partner, Mr. McDonnell and Mr. Caywood. Will you notify them? They have more witnesses than I can expect to hear in one day. I know that. I am familiar with the case. So will you tell them it v/ill be reset? MR. JOHNSON* Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Thank you. Now, then on Thursday hopefully we will- be through with this hearing -- on Thursday, Mr. Crenshaw, you may make your plans to not be here. And I am going to move right in to devote my day Thursday to my findings and then this afternoon you gentlemen can work some on that stipulation and see if there are any gaps in it. Mr. Smith, we might consider whether we can take them up tomorrow also. I can let you know on that today. Nov;, are there any questions about time? (No response.) T1IE COURT: Mr. Williams, are you going to confer with your clients at the -- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 12 MR. WILLIAMS: I ara going to confer with them immediately -- you mean about the mitigation matter? THE COURT- Yes. MR. WILLIAMS: Yes. I already have some of that information. THE COURT: Would you like to have until 2.-0 0 so you will have a little more time? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. THE COURT: Well, it doesn't sound like we are as rushed as we were. So we will adjourn, Mr. Clerk, until 2;00, and then, Mr. Smith, we will ask you to have your witness on the Shaw case come back. We will finish that witness and if we finish early then we will let you gentlemen work on the stipulation. MR. WILLIAMS: Very well, Your Honor. THE COURT: And then hopefully we will not be working on this case Thursday, and if we do not finish tomorrow, well, we will cross that bridge when we come to it. I would like to say for the record 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 13 that in Chanters Hr. Williams observed that he has some noliticing to do and I don't want to be the one that is taking sides by depriving him of you are a candidate, are you not? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. May it please Your Honor, nay I state for the record what I stated to Your Honor in Chambers, that I completely absolve Your Honor from any responsibility for holding up the political campaign. THE COURT: All right, thank you. All right, anything else, Mr. Smith? MR. SMITH* No, sir. THE COURT: Let's adjourn until 2:00. (NOON RECESS) 1 2 3 4 S 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 14 AFTERNOON SESSION (Whereupon, the hearing was resumed at 2-00 p . m . , as follows:) THE COURT: All right, are we ready to proceed? MR. WILLIAMS: May it please Your Honor, there is one matter that I omitted to bring up prior to the recess. That is the matter of Mrs. Alberta Rivers, a teacher as to whom I had made the motion that she be treated as all other teachers. I take it that there would be no problem now with granting that motion and permitting her to be treated as a plaintiff since the proof shows that -- Your Honor may recall that I had the superintendent to testify with regard to the way and the manner in which she was dismissed, since the proof shows she was dismissed in exactly the same manner as the other teachers. THE COURT: Mr. Smith, you want to be heard on this? MR. SMITH: If the Court please, yes, we do object to anybody intervening as a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 15 plaintiff in this cause at this stage for the reasons heretofore stated and specifically with respect to Mrs. Rivers. THE COURT; Mr. Crenshaw. MR. CRENSHAW; We have already expressed our position to the Court that there is no essential necessity for the individual teachers who were discriminatorily discharged to actually formally intervene in the case. The Court can take cognizance of the rights of teachers who were discharged without formality of their intervening or actually because of the formality of them being specifically named in any complaint. The complaint has been held to be sufficient when it alleges that a number of black teachers were discriminatorily discharged, as to especially those who were not precisely named in the complaint. MR. WILLIAMS: .May it please Your Honor, I am not at variance with what Mr. Crenshaw says, except that in order to make sure that there may be no question of Mrs. Rivers' rights to back pay, I think 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 16 she ought to be intervened in the lawsuit. She signed the retainer and, as T say, through really kind of a fluke that I did not present this motion to Your Honor on the 9th of October. And, very frankly, if Your Honor please, the only reason I haven't prepared a written motion is that sort of living out of my suitcase without any secretarial facilities down here and I have not had an opportunity to do so. THE COURT; All right. MR. SMITH • If the Court, please, I don't know where Mr. Crenshaw leaves us. Apparently he is taking the position that anybody can come in here after whether the Court makes an order with respect to them or not is entitled to get their job back and all their back pay, whatever that may be. I think we have to have some sort of an orderly proceeding. I don't know what the situation is with respect to Mrs. Rivers in any detail at all because we have not prepared with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 respect to Mrs. Rivers, what her rights nay be I am not prepared to say at this time . The Court's order, regardless of what it does, does whatever the lav; says it does, and I object to bringing in another plaintiff at this time. MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, it is not actually bringing in another plaintiff. She actually was one of the original plaintiffs. She got left off really because of her fear at one point. She got left off originally because she omitted to sign the retainer through an inadvertence. Then she got left off at another point because by virtue of the vigorous discovery and the practices of the defendant, she was afraid that it would effect her positioruf she would have to go on the stand and testify. And so actually, and now she is wanting back into the case. She is one of the original plaintiffs. She there is nothing different about 17 her than about any other of these teachers, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 18 if Your Honor please, and it would be a real travesty on justice, so to spe ak , if I may use so mundane a term, if she were to be omitted from the relief in the case , MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, there is a rather simple solution, I think, that could lend itself to the Court. .The School Board could have seven days or even fourteen days in which to show how her status differs in any way from the other respective defendants. I don't think there could be any possible questions, any different qiiestions that were applied to Mrs. Rivers than were applied to the other individuals. MR. SMITH: If the Court please, I personally don't know what the possible questions could be. By Counsel's own admission, she stayed out of this case at this stage to keep from being discovered. Now, if Mr. Crenshaw is correct and the Court's order covers everybody blanket, now or hereafter, seeking employment, then 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 19 it does that. If it does not, I object to someone being specifically brought in that we haven't had any opportunity at all to prepare for or know about. THE COURT; All right. MR. WILLIAMS; Somehow I understood tiie Court to say that she would be treated the same as the plaintiffs except that if they .had any specific objections as to her competency that they would have a right to show that, but since the Court has ruled out these issues as to competency, then, as I understood it, I thought it would be more or less a matter of course, if Your Honor please. THE COURT: All right. Let m.e make this observation. I don't recall exactly what I said before. I expect my remarks wore a little more guarded at that time. I hope they were. Based unon my conclusion of law, it appears to me that Mrs. Rivers, that the School Board is going to be faced with the same problem vith Mrs. Rivers whether she waits six months, or whatever it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 20 .is, to come in this lawsuit. Now, I would think that Mrs. Rivers is in no better position or no worse position so far as tiie Court’s holding on what v/as owed to these teachers . At the sane tine I am unwilling to include Mrs. Rivers insofar as if the School Board wishes to appeal this Court's ruling, and the School Board, I assume, I guess if I let her in and this Court was reversed, the Court of Appeals would have no trouble on reversing me in including Mrs. Rivers. But I would think that when Mr. Smith has tine to go over the Court's formal ruling that one of his jobs would be to advise the School Board what to do about Mrs. Rivers. At the same time I am somewhat like Mr. Smith. I really don't know the effect of ny including Mrs. Rivers in it on an oral notion after hearing was started, and X don't want to deprive the defendants of any defenses they might 3iave had otherwise. I don't agree with Mr. Crenshaw that if I order the Board to reinstate the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 21 plaintiffs, that they have got to go out and get someone or more of these teachers that weren’t retired and make them go back to work to comply with the Court’s order, now, that is pretty far. Some of these plaintiffs have gone on to other things, don't want to be reinstated. So I don’t intend for the Board to say, "Well, we have got to go out and pay this person more money to cone back over here and go to work for us so v/e won' t be in contempt of the Court's order." There are bound to be some issues or some of the things that need to be determined, I would suggest that --- I will reserve my ruling on ’’rs. Rivers and include in my written ruling what I think about Mrs. Rivers without the necessity of any further proof about it. MR. WILLIAMS: If Your Honor please, if I can find a typewriter myself, I will just type up the written motion today and got it filed today. the COURT: Well, Mr . Wi 11 i arns , the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 22 fact that you haven't put it in writing is not the most significant thing about it. If you had had it in writing that morning I would have still been concerned about it because I really don't know. I am not jeopardizing her rights because you did not have it in writing when you first mentioned it. At tiie same time, whether it is written, oral or otherwise, I do want to know what I am doing before I bring somebody in on a hearing that has been called for that morning and it takes the others by surprise. Regardless of how meritorious her claim is, it is a procedural problem, but I can't help but believe that since Mrs. Rivers was in the group to which the same standards were applied and that I concluded those standards did not meet Constitutional requirements, as interpreted by the authorities, that if Mrs. Rivers is in. the category of the other twelve, that regardless of whether we make her wait six months or a year, then she will either be tested by objective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 23 standards or she will be paid for having been wrongfully discharged. Now, at the same time, I am not willing to make a snap judgment about it and I will include it in my ruling, and right now j.t seems that if I were represent- ing the School Board and in the conference after ray ruling is in it, that I believe that the lawyer would say, "Well, now, we want to face the problem of Mrs. Rivers the sane way we do the others, or if vou want to make them come back we are liable to at the risk of it costing some more money." I am hardly able to predict, without the aid of an Appellate Court ruling, that I hope I would not treat her any differently if the facts were the same. So I will just have to comment on that in my ruling in the light of the way it was brought un, and, maybe, Mr. Smith, if you want to give some more thought to it. I am sympathetic with your predicament with not knowing exactly what the effect 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 24 of it would be. But let's move along and we will let Mr. Williams' remarks suffice for why she wasn't brought in and if when you get time you want to supplement the record with a written motion, Mr. Williams, I will let you do so as of the day when we started the hearing. MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you very much. Your Honor. THE COURT: All right. How, Mr. Smith, will you call your Shaw witness. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. Mr. Ransom Person. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 18 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 RANSOM_PERSON The said witness, being first duly sworn. testified as follows, to-wit- DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. SMITH: Q Will you tell us your name and address please, sir? A Ransom Person, Route 1, Box 200, Somerville, Tennessee. Q Mr. Person, are you any relation to Mr. Willie Emmitt Person? A Yes . Q What relation is that? A First cousin. Q What do you do for a living please, sir? A I teach school. Q Where do you teach and in what capacity? A Jefferson Consolidated School in seventh and eighth grade. Q In the school year of .1963-1969 , what were you doing please, sir? A I was a principal of Braden-Sinai School, Mason, Tennessee. q now long had you been principal at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 26 Braden-Sinai? A About 23 years. Q Will you tell us please if you know Mr. Leroy Shaw, Jr., and when and how you came to know him and what your relationship with him was? A Yes, I know him. He was a teacher during that time at Braden-Sinai School. Q Tell us if you will please, sir, what experience you had with Mr. Shaw while he was a teacher and you were a principal at Braden-Sinai School? A Well, I didn't find too much fault with Mr, Shaw. in the first year I didn’t get full cooperation. In the last year I have no fault. I did not find any fault. q Nov;, the first school year was what school year? A It was *68 and *69, I think. Q And you said you did not get too much cooperation. Specifically in what way did he fail to cooperate with you? A We planned to have a picnic, and this was the only time, and each teacher was assessed a certain amount, and he said he wouldn’t he didn't think 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 27 it was right to pay that amount, and that v/as just about all. Q Tell us if you will what his practices were with regard to paddling the children? A . His paddling? Q Paddling the children, yes, sir. A Well, just like any other teacher. A lot of times children need paddling. If you don't, you can't have that in the school room. Q Did you ever have occasion to complain about his paddling children? A Ho. Q You never made any coraplaints to any person? A No. Q How many children would he paddle in a day's time? A I just don't know. I did not count them, didn't keep up'with any amount. Q Do you know the reasons that he paddled chiIdren? A Ho, not exactly. Q Well, do you know approximately? A Well, I assune.it was about their lessons. Q VJhat about their lessons? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 28 Mr. WILLIAMS; I object to that, if the Court please. He said he didn't know. THE COURT; All right. Objection sustained. If he said he doesn't know, he is not allowed to assume. MR. SMITH; If the Court please, I have a sworn statement fror.i this witness wherein his testimony is completely different from what it has been here today. MR. CRENSHAW; If Your Honor please -- MR. SMITH; Now, excuse me. May I finish? THE COURT; Let him finish, Mr. Crenshaw. MR. SMITH; I am taken quite by surprise at the change in testimony of this witness, and I request permission to cross-examine him. MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, we have a witness who is an employee of the School Board, What Mr. Smith is saying is the School Board wants to call its own employee as a hostile witness. Somebody who is not employed is a hostile witness. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 29 MR. WILLIAMS* May it please Your Honor, there has been no basis shown for an attempt by Mr. Smith to impeach his own witness lie re. MR. SMITH 1 If the Court please, if there is any question about it I will offer his statement, portions of his statement in evidence to establish the basis by which I am taken by surprise. THE COURTi All right. Let me see the statement, please. MR. SMITH; All right, sir. Nov/, t h i s-- MR. WILLIAMS; May it please the Court, we would object to his introducing in evidence before the Court any paperwriting in an attempt to impeach his own witness, THE COURT; Well, -- MR. WILLIAMS; May it please the Court, I have seen this done in an attempt to impeach somebody else's witness but I have never seen anybody before with their own employee, someone that they introduced and then attempting to impeach that witness. I don’t think that is proper legal procedure. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 30 MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, -- MR. SMITH: Your Honor, I have made some notations that -- MR. CRENSHAW; Excuse me. THE COURT; Wait a minute, let Mr. Crenshaw finish. MR. CRENSHAW: We would like to have an opportunity to examine the document before it is submitted to the Court if it is being submitted for any probative purpose. THE COURT- All right. Let me do this; Mr. Person, we have got into a little problem about your testimony and the Court needs to rule on some points of law. I am. going to excuse you from the courtroom and ask you just to stand by until I work out this point of law and we will get you back in here and hear the rest of your testimony a little later. Mow, is there anybody else in the witness room? MR. SMITH: There are a number of others back there, yes, sir. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 31 TILE COURT: Well, Mr. Kennedy, just show him in the jury room, and we will get back to you in just a minute, but I have got some problems of law that could affect your testimony and, of course, if we sit here and talk about what you might say, then that might suggest to you what somebody thinks you want them to say, so I will just ask your cooperation on this. THE WITNESS; Yes, fine. (Thereupon, the witness was excused from the courtroom.) THE COURT; All right. There are times when the Court has to examine a document, even though the Court is a trier of fact. How many copies of the statement do you have? MR. SMITH: I ju3t have one here, and this is not the sworn statement. The sworn statement is back in my office. This is a copy of his statement. What I did was I went out and took a statement on a dictaphone from him. I asked the questions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 32 He dictated the answers. I then later went back with a court reporter. He reviewed his statement, signed each page of it, sv7ore that it was the truth, and made whatever changes he wanted to it, and that is what is back in my office. THE COURT: All right. MR. SMITH; But this is the original statement. THE COURT; All right. Well, the Court does not intend to examine anything of this nature that opposing counsel cannot see. We have a problem about the number of copies. MR. SMITH; Well, could I simply read the portions of it that I am talking about? THE COURT; No, I don't want to do that. In a hearing of this sort, particularly with all the people in the courtroom, I want to handle this thing so that we minimize the amount of possible friction tiiat arises out of this, right ox' wrong . I want to see the statement, I will 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 33 then let Mr. Crenshaw and Mr. Williams see it, and ve will handle it in open Court, but I want to minimize the problems. MR. SMITH: All right, sir. I will ask this: this is the statement. I would like to show the Court the original sworn statement if it will require sending for it. THE COURT: Mr. Smith, the Court has no hesitancy in saying that your reputation at this Bar is good enough that if you tell me that you have it at your office that I would rely on that until you can get it here, and I don't think you need to send for it just to prove that the original is sworn to. This is the same statement? MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. Now, quite frankly, he made one or two inconsequential changes, I think. I don't remember. I think he changed some names or spelling, or something to this effect, and I am a little bit at a loss to say exactly what changes he did make on it. THE COURT: All right, Mr. Smith, I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 34 an not going to hold you to producing the one that has the magic seal or something on it. If you tell me they are inconsequen tial changes, we will just rely on it. Let me see it first. I won't do anything about it until opposing counsel sees it. (Thereupon, the said statement was passed to the Court.) THE COURT: All right, let's let Mr. Williams and Mr. Crenshaw see it. I examined it rather hurridly. (Thereupon, the said statement was passed to Counsel.) the COURT: You can take your time to read it separately if you want to. All right, Mr. Smith, let me ask you what you hope to do about this witness, assuming the Court lets you question him about this statement. He is your witness and you want to prove he said something formerly that is different from what he said today now. If I test him by the noriim] rule to estaolisn he said something 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 35 different before, then you have got a credibility problem regardless of the cause of i t. MR. SMITH: I understand there will be a credibility problem, yes, sir. THE COURT: Well, all right. MR. SMITH: Unless he changes the testimony that he has just given. MR. CRENSHAW; Your Honor please, that still creates a rather tremendous credibility problem. THE COURT: Well, I know, but I am not inclined to say he can't question him about it. MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, I would respectfully submit that he also has the problem that this statement discloses on its face a certain amount of subtle coercion at the time of the taking of this statement in the manner of leading questions that Mr. Smith asked of the witness. Objectiously the witness -- I think that we need to inquire into the circumstances 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 36 of the taking of this statement with regard to who wan there and that sort of thing, because it appears that from the statement that Mr. Person was to a certain extent coerced. I presume that now he is in open Court with the protection of the Court that he is trying to tell the truth. THE COURT- Yes. Well, Mr. Williams, I can’t tell from your remark whether you object to going into it or don’t. I get the impression that you don't mind. MR. WILLIAMS: Well, I object to the use of the statement for any purpose, Your Honor please, because I think the statement shows on its face that it is affected with a certain degree of coercion. THE COURT: Well, -- MR. SMITH: Well, lest by my silence there be any reflection that I am acquiescing in that statement, I very stringently -- THE COURT: Deny it. MR. SMITH* Yes, sir, oppose it. There was no coercion. THE COURT: Well, I don’t think on its 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 37 face it shows it, but I think if you question him, I don’t see how you are going to get around the fact that you have got to confront him with the fact that it is his former statement and then, of course, on cross-examination, I think they would be entitled to ask him the circumstances under which he gave the other statement. MR. SMITH: Certainly. THE COURT: I don’t want to give Mr. Person the -- I am concerned about him too, but I think in the circumstances that within reasonable limits Mr. Smith can question him about it because if he did say something differently, this witness' testimony unexplained could be used to impeach Mr. Carothers and other testimony that the defendants have offered. So I think basic fairness requires us to let nr. Smith go in there and, of course, Mr. Smith, you understand that under our rules of evidence as your affirmative proof, I can give it little if any weight because a witness -- well, it may not be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 38 the case if you question him. MR. SMITH; Well, yes, sir, I understand that, and I quite agree with the Court. Mr. Carothers has heretofore testified and Mr. Bagwell has heretofore testified that Mr. Shaw in part was not rehired on the oasis of this man's recommendation. THE COURT; All right. MR. SMITH; Now, I would like the Court -- Mr. Johnson has gone to get that sworn statement -- I would like to confront the man with the actual sworn statement, if I may. THE COURT; All right. Well, I regret that this has come up, but I think in all fairness in order to -- but I think in order to have a complete record we are going to let Mr. Smith go on into it with reasonable restraint. I would like to go on and let you substitute or at least tell him that the other statement is on the way. We won't wait until Mr. Johnson gets back. We probably won't be through before Mr. Johnson gets back. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 39 MR. CRENSHAW: Your Honor please, am I to understand that Mr. Smith is now offering Mr. Person as an adverse witness? THE COURT; No, he is not offering him as an adverse witness. He is pleading surprise by his testimony and wishes to explain, wishes to question the witness about it, and I am ruling that he may do so and you may also and just to find out about it. MR. CRENSHAW: The Court is ruling that we may have use of this document? THE COUNT: To cross-examine him? MR. CRENSHAW; To cross-examine him. T1IE COURT: Yes, sir. Everybody has seen it. Mr. Smith is going to confirm that it is a sworn original. MR. SMITH: Yes. The only thing is this: I would like to have the original sworn statement, so there won't be any misunderstanding about what I am asking him and what he said when I confronted him. If I could make a phone call I might could facilitate getting that thing down 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 S 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 40 here . HR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, Mr. Smith has said this is the same as the original. THE COURT: Well, he wants the right to have the witness know that it is the same . MR. WILLIAMS: Well, he wants to coerce the witness again, does he? THE COURT: Wow, Mr. Williams, I don’t consider that there is any basis for that and -- MR. CREUSHAW: If Your Honor please, pardon my interference, but that statement is not terribly unfavorable to our position in the lawsuit, but, on the other hand, if an attorney wno takes one statement front a witness and asks him a number of leading questions at least calculated to jog the memory substantially, if not to suggest the general outline of the testimony, and then if the witness can't remember that that is the testimony, that I can certainly THE COURT: All right. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 41 understand. To jog his memory, Your Honor, based on part of his statement, there is no meaning to the rule that he can't cross-examine his own witness, can't lead his own witness. THE COURT: Well, Mr. Crenshaw, the Court finds that from the witness' own testimony that there is an irreconcilable conflict. What he said before is not proof. Now, the only thing that Mr. Smith can accomplish is have the witness attempt to explain. What I tell juries when we have them in here as triers of the fact, if the witness is not a party and he has made a prior -- of course, it usually comes up at the other side -- he has made a statement previously, you don't go by what he said previously. You go by what he said in Court. Now, if there is such a conflict, I think Mr. Smith is entitled to the warning that he has little hope of ever making this witness favorable unless there is some 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 4 2 reason, and, of already put hin to question hin under which the All right, minutes recess. course, Mr. Williams has on notice that he intends about the circumstances statement was taken, suppose we take about five MR. WILLIAMS: Your Honor please, could you make it seven and a half? I just got a call from a judge in Murfreesboro, and now I am with Mr. Smith. I want the recess . THE COURT: All right. We will take about ten minutes. MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you. THE COURT: You should be present. I have some instructions for Mr. Person. (Thereupon, the said witness was returned to the courtroom.) THE COURT: Mr. Person, you can just stand out here. I want to give you some instructions. V.'e have a recess and some of the lawyers got away. We didn't want to leave you in there oy yourself. You stay wherever you want to, but we havecan 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 43 to take a re Q0SS During this time I don't want you to talk to anybody about any testimony, a lawyer or party or anybody and don't let anybody talk to you about it. If you prefer, you can stay in the witness room. I am not locking you up, you understand. THE WITNESS: I understand. THE .COURT: But we have got a problem here and you are just involved in it, and so I don't want you talking to anybody or let anybody talk to you about your testimony, and this is my instruction, and if anybody tries to why you tell them what I have told you, and if they insist then you tell then to take it up with me after the recess. We will have about a ten minute recess. THE WITNESS: I will just, go Oil back in here. THE COURT: That will be all right. THE WITNESS: O.K. (RECESS) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 44 MR. SMITH; That is a photocopy for Your Honor and each of the lawyers have a photocopy. THE COURT: I might say after Mr. Williams and Mr. Smith started the recess, Mr. Crenshaw called to ray attention that we had left the witness in the jury room and I called him out with the court reporter present and told him that he was not to discuss his role as a witness or his testimony with anybody and didn't -- I told him he was not locked up in the jury room but he voluntarily elected to stay in there during the recess. I assume he is still there, is he, Mr. Marshal? So this was his choice, not mine. I did not order him to stay in there. All right, let's ask Mr. Person to come back in, please. (Thereupon, the said witness, Ransom Person, resumed the witness stand.) THE COURT: All right, Mr. Person, the lawyers have some more questions of you. THE COURT; All right. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 45 Just listen and answer them appropriately please . THE WITNESS: All right. BY MR._ SMITH: Q Mr. Person, do you recall please a couple of weeks ago when I came out with an IBM dictating machine to ^rs< Morton's office? A Yes . Q And took a statement from you? A Yes . Q You recall that incident? A Yes . Q Do you recall that I would ask you a question and hand you the microphone and you would answer the question? MR. WILLIAMS: I object to leading questions, Your Honor please, and I want to register again my objections to any attempt on the part of Mr. Smith to coerce and impeach his own witness on the basis of this statement for the reasons stated, that I think it was taken under coercion circumstances, if Your Honor please. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 4 6 surprise, the Court will allow Hr. f>-it’.i t -> go into it but he nay usd leading questions. Q Do you recall that? A Yes . Q That is the way we handled it? A Yes . Q Do you remember that after you had finished I allowed you to listen to the tape back- is that correct? A Yes . Q All right, sir, How, I asked you a number of questions and you gave me a number of answers- is that net correct? A Yes . Q And those answers were true, to the best of your knowledge and belief, were they not? A Yes . Q Did I threaten you? A No. Q Did anybody threaten you? A No . Q Has anybody at any time made any threat to THE COURT: VIell, I think having plead 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 you about losing your job or about any other subject concerning your testimony in this case? A No. Q All right, sir. Do you recall, please, that on the 19th of October ~~ that was a week ago yesterday -- we met back at Mr. Morton's office, at which time a court reporter was present, do you recall that?\ A Yes. Q And you were placed under oath- is that correct? A Yes . Q And at that time I asked you to read a transcription of a statement, and you did read it, did you not, please? A Yes . q And I asked you if that statement was true and complete to the bast of your knowleuge and belief, and you said that aside from, some misspelled words it was true and complete to the best of lour knowledge and belief; is that not correct? A Yes. Q And at that time I asked you to so signify by signing your name to each page and the date, 47 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 48 10-19-70, did I not? A Yes . Q You were under oath at that time; is that not correct? A Yes. Q All right, sir. And the statement which you read and signed was true and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief, was it not? A Yes . Q For the record, I will ask if you will identify this statement. (Thereupon, the said document was passed to the witness.) A What statement? Q The statement that has the red signatures and dates on it. MR. WILLIAMS; I object to that, if Your Honor please. He has handed him two documents. THE COURT; Well, the witness did ask which one. There is a court reporter's transcript on the front of it, isn't it? MR. SMITH; Yes, sir. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 49 Q I am asking you with reference to the pages that have the red signature and date on them. Is that your signature? A Yes. Q And is that the statement that you signed at that time? A Yes. Q All right, sir. If I may have it back, please . (Thereupon, the said document was passed to Counsel.) Q Now, Mr. Person, I asked you when we took your statement, "Tell us, if you will, please, sir, what experience you had with Mr. Leroy Shaw, Jr.?" And do you recall giving this answer, "Well, the first year he was out there, well, he didn't seem to cope with the trends of education. I didn't like the way he was teaching." Do you recall giving me that answer? A Not in the exact words . I said the way he was paddling the children. Q You told me he was paddling the children at that time? A Yes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 50 Q And that you didn't like the way that he was paddling the children at that time? A That is what I meant. Q Yes, sir. Do you recall this question; "Specifically, what was wrong with the way he was teaching? Specifically, what didn't you like about the way he was teaching?" And you answered, "He whipped the children too much." Do you recall giving that answer? A Yes . Q And that was a true answer, was it not? A Yes . Q Do you recall me asking you this; Well, when you say he whipped the children too much, what do you mean by too much, please, sir?" Do you recall giving this answer: "Almost at the end of every class he would have a whipping spree, not just one but maybe seven or eight at a time.” Do you recall giving that answer? A Yes. q That answer was true, was it not? A Yes. O And it is true today, is it not? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 51 A Yes, the same thing I said at first, Q I asked you, "Did you observe this yourself on one or many occasions?1' And you answered, "Yes, on many occasions." Do you recall giving that answer? A I don't know what you mean by "observe". Q See it with your own eyes. A No. Q You did not see it with your own eyes? A No. Q Do you recall giving this answer; "It seemed like a person, teacher just wouldn't whip a child because it didn't have its lesson. If they couldn't give their lesson, seemed like he would make some other plan, some other method to go by other than just to." Do you recall giving that answer? A Yes . Q And that was a true answer, wasn't it? A Yes . 0 So the fact is, is it not, Mr. Person, that you were dissatisfied with Mr. Shaw's whipping practices, paddling practices; is that not so? A Yes . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 52 Q And I didn't tell you to testify that way, did I? A No . Q And did anyone at any time tell you that that is the way you should come in here and testify today? A No. Q Did anyone threaten you if you didn't do it? A No. Q Do you recall this question and answer-. ’’Will you tell us, please, a little more detail about these paddling incidents? Did Mr. Shaw walk around the scnool room with a paddle in his hand?" And do you recall giving this answer: "This is when the classes ended. He would whip it seemed like the whole class because he was upset at the other teachers and with me too as far as that matter." Do you recall saying that? A No. Q You don't recall saying that? A You know, the last time you came out there I told you that there was some errors on there. q You told me there was some misspelled words but you said that’s the only error that there was. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 5 3 A Well, this other word too, because I didn't say he was upset. Q Who was upset? A Me with the teachers. Q But you do recall saying that he would whip sometimes it seemed like the whole class, do you not? A Yes . Q And that is the truth, isn't it? He would whip sometimes like the whole class? A I didn't go in the room, so I just don't know how many, but I know it was more than one. Q Yes, sir. And you did speak to Mr. Carothers about this, didn't you? A No, no, I didn't. Q You never spoke to Mr. Carothers about Mr. Shaw s paddling practices? A He called me in on a conference. Just going by myself voluntarily, I didn't speak to anyone. Q Weil, I understand that, but he called you in and you did tell him that you were dissatisfied with the way Mr. Shaw was paddling? MR. WILLIAMS: Your Honor please, I think he is beyond the point where he is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 54 entitled to lead. THE COURT; I agree with that. Q What did you tell Mr. Carothers with respect to Mr. Shaw’s paddling practices ? A What did I tell him? Q Yes , sir. A It has been so long, I don't know what I told him. I just don't know the exact words, but he called me in after Mr. Snaw was -- his contract was dishonored, and then he talked to me about it. Q And what did he say about i't? Chat did you say to him? A I just told him that I didn't think it was right for a teacher to paddle children about their lesson. That was all I told him. MR. SMITH: I believe that is all, if Your Honor please. THE COURT: All right, we will let Mr. Williams question Mr. Person. MR. WILLIAMS: I an just going to question him briefly. CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. WILLIAMS: Q Mr. Person, Mr. Carothers called you after 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 55 Mr. Shaw had been discharged A Yes . Q -- didn't he? Yes Q And what did he say to you then? A He just asked me what kind of teacher was he, and, you know, kind of like that, and how was he doing in school, and I just told him, and before then I didn't know anything about him being discharged Q And did you tell him then what you told the Court earlier, that really you had no substantial complaints against Mr,. Shaw? A Yes. Q And I believe you likewise told Mr. Smith in this statement -- he didn't read that part of it -- you told him you would be glad to have Mr. Shaw back, didn't you? A No, I didn't make that statement. I said if he didn't paddle the children, I would. Q Well, you initially said that you thought that you wouldn't have any objection to having him back, didn't you? Take that -- let me read this to you. A O.K. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 56 Q He had to remind you about the paddling. He asked you, "Would you like to have rlr. Shaw back in your school if you had one?" And your answer was: "Yes, in a way, because that last year was,■ as far as the cooperation, I didn't have anything to say against him because he really cooperated fine that last year. Of course, anything they asked him to do, but that first term he didn’t want to cooperate too well." Then Mr. Smith asked you about the paddling. "How about the paddling? He did that the last year though, did he not?” And then you answered, "Yes,” and then he asked you, "Would you like to have him back under your supervision paddling children the way he was when he last worked for you if you had a school?" And then you said: "If you are going to whip like that, I wouldn’t." MR. SMITH; I wouldn't, excuse me. MR. WILLIAMS: I said "I wouldn't". MR. SMITH: I am sorry. I thought you said I would. Q Now, that's what you said in that statement, isn't it? A Yes, that is correct. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 57 Q You hadn't even thought about the paddling until Mr. Smith reminded you, had you? A No. Q And you would in fact like to have Mr. Shaw back , wouldn't you? A Yes. He really cooperated fine the last year. Didn't have a bit of trouble out of him. Q And was a good teacher too, wasn't he? A Yes . Q Did Mr. Carothers call you up before he fired Mr. Shaw and tell you that Mr. Shaw was going to have to go? A No. Q All right. It was after the notice of Mr. Shaw's failure to re-elect had cone out in the paper that he called you up and asked you to come in, aidn't he? A Yes. That was my first knowledge of it. Q First knowledge of any complaint about Mr. Shaw? A Any complaint. Mr. Shaw himself didn't tell me. Q And as a matter of fact, Mr. Person, I believe that the morning that you went down to see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 58 Mr. Carothers after he called you, Mrs. Millie E. Johnson, one of the plaintiffs in tnis case, had to call you for something and you mentioned to her that you had been called in about Mr. Shaw . Do you remember that? A Yes . Q And I believe you stated to Mrs. Johnson that you had nothing against Mr. Shaw and you didn't know why they were calling you in about him; isn't that correct? A Yes, that is correct. MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you, Mr. Person. MR. CRENSHAW: I just have one or two questions. C RO S S-E XAMINAT10N BY MR. CRENSHAW; Q Mr. Person, my name is Craig Crenshaw, an attorney from the Justice Department, and as I understand your testimony so far, you stated you never talked to Mr. Carothers about Mr. Shaw until after Mr. Chaw was fired; is that true? A That is true. q Did you ever complain to anyone with the school system about the way Mr Chaw was performing? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 59 A No. MR. CRENSHAW; I have no further questions. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. SMITH: Q Mr. Person, the answer that Mr. Williams read to you -- MR. WILLIAMS- Before you begin, may it please the Court, and I nave another question and I -- MR. SMITH: Well, now, -- MR. WILLIAMS: O.K. All right. Q The answer that Mr. Williams read to you in response to my question, "Would you like him back under your supervision paddling children the way he was when he last worked for you?" Your answer was, "If he gonna whip like that, I wouldn't." That was a true answer, wasn't it? A Yes . Q And it is still true today, is it not? A Yes . MR. SMITH: That is all. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 6 0 RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. WILLIAMS; Q But that's whipping that you never saw on your own? You didn't actually observe any of that, did you? A No. Q Did you just --- let me ask you t h i s --- A Yes .

A Yes . Q And, of course, they advised you ahead of time what this was all about, didn't they? A No. Q They didn't tell you what you were there about? A No. I had a call from the school to come up there to the office after I leave my school, to come by the office. Q When was it that this statement was taken? A I think it was October the 17th, wasn't it? Q Was it October the 17th? A Sixteenth. I think it was. Q What I mean is, when you came in there was some discussion before they began taking your statement wasn't there? There usually is.

A Yes . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 62 Q After you got there. And before they began the dictating machine, they went over the matter to some extent, didn't they? A Yes . Q And reviewed the natter of Mr. Caro thers having said you said that Mr. Shaw paddled too much? A Yes. He had a note there. Q They lot you see that note? A Yas . Q And went over all those matters before they began this statement? A Not in detail. Q But they went over all of then to some extent though? A Yes, yes. Q And the superintendent and.the supervisors were sitting right there at the time? A Yes . Q And they were participating to some extent in the discussion? A No. Q They were just sitting there looking at your is that right? A I don't know whether they were looking at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 63 us or not, but the supervisor seemed like she was doing some writing. I don't know what she was doing. Q They were right there in the same room? A Yes, in the same room. They didn't take no part in it, Q They didn't take any part in it, but you understood that the superintendent was interested in the statement that you would give, didn't you? A (No answer.) Q You understood that Mr, Bagwell was interested in the kind of statement that you were going to give, didn't you? A No, not exactly. Q Why did you think he was there? A Well, it was his privilege. He was superintendent. Q Well, the fact that he was there indicated to you that he had some interest in it? MR, SMITH; Nov;, if the Court please, I object to that. MR. WILLIAMS; This is cross-examination, Your Honor. MR. SMITH; He has already answered that question several times. This is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 64 repetition. THE COURT: Well, I let Mr. Williams cioss-exaraine him but -- MR. WILLIAMS: I would just like to ask him one more time, if Your Honor please. THE COURT: All right. Q The fact that Mr. .Bagwell was there did, as a matter of fact, indicate that he had some interest in it, didn't it, Mr. Person? A I just don't know whether that •- that I could say that truthfully or not, but he was there. Q And you took note that he was there too, didn't you? A Well, now, he didn't stay in the room all the time. He was in the other room. q Well, he was in and out of the room though, wasn't he A Mrs. Morton was in the room all the time . Q Yes . A But Mr. Bagwell wasn't. Q But he was in there part of time, wasn't he? A Yes . Q Well, now, you have already said he was in there. Are you going to change that now? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 65 A Yes . : MR. WILLIAMS: I believe that is all. THE COURT; Mr. Crenshaw? MR. CRENSHAW: I have nothing further. MR. SMITH: Nothing further. MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, I an sorry to keep jumping up and down. I first thought I didn't 'want to ask him this. I think I would like to ask him this now, if I may. FURTHER CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. WILLIAMS: Q Mr. Person, was Mr. Shaw the only male teacher in the school other than you? A Yes . Q Actually, as a natter of fact, he was there three years, wasn't he? A He was a part of three. Q How long were you principal of that school? A About 23 years. Q I think you said that earlier, so that although in your statement you said he was there only one and a half years, you were mistaken on that, weren't you? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 66 A Maybe so. Q He T/as there three full years according to the records. If the records shov; he was there three full years, then he was there under* your supervision for those three full years, wasn’t he? A Yes . Q Then if you were mistaken about that, you could be mistaken about some other things too, couldn’t you? A It is possible. Q Yes. Were you away from the school a great deal? A No. q No. All right, sir. You got there on time every day? A Not every day. Q Some days would it be as late as noon before you got there? A Oh, no . Q Oh, no. As late as 9 oo or 10:00? A Maybe 9:00 sometimes. Q Yes. At the tine Mr. Shaw was discharged, there was no rumor going around that Mr. Shaw was going to take your place or anything like that, was 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 67 there? A If he did, I didn't know anything about it. Q You didn't hear anything about it? A i didn't hear anything about it. Q Well, you didn't have anything against Mr. Shav? f you didn't recommend his discharge; as a matter of fact, didn't know anything about it until after he was discharged; that is correct, isn't it? A That is correct. MR. WILLIAMS: That is all, thank you. RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. CRENSHAW; Q Mr. Person, there is no possibility you were mistaken about that? A I beg your pardon. Q You are positive you didn't make any recommendation to the superintendent that he be discharged and you are positive that you didn't talk to the superintendent before Mr. Shaw was fired about Mr. Shaw? A No. Q A You are positive? Yes . MR. CRENSHAW: Thank you. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 68 BYJFHE COURT: Q Hr. Person, what was the basis of the information that you used to form the opinion that he whipped the children too much? Did I understand you to say you did not see it? You did not go into his room? A Mo. Q Well, what caused you to tell Hr. Smith and us that? A Usually the kind of disturbance to me and the other teachers too, because the other teachers did speak to me about it, usually say something to me about it, but I never did say anything to Mr. Shaw about it at all. Q what you are telling me is that the information -- you did not see him but the information came from other teachers? A They could hear it from the adjoining room. Q You and the other teachers? A Yes. Q Parents ever speak to you about it? A No. q I believe you testified you have been in this system 23 years at least. More than that now, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 69 isn't it? A Yes . Q And it has always been the practice to use the paddle when you needed to, wasn't it? A Yes . Q Others that have come before you have said that in Fayette County, that they used the paddle? A I use it myself. Q And so have quite a fev; of the other teachers, haven’t they? A Yes, sir. Q Did you have some idea that this Court was opposed to paddling? A No. THE COURT- All right. All right, thank you. MR. SMITH: Excuse me. In response to one of the Court's questions, may I develop a little further? THE COURT: You may. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. SMITH; Q Mr. Person, in your experience in the system you have testified it was customary to usei •* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 70 the paddle. To what extent was it customary to whip the whole cla >s at any one time? MR. CRENSHAW: I object to the question on the grounds it is completely erroneous. I think the witness' testimony has established that he had no knowledge of it. THE COURT: Well, I am going to ask you to rephrase it, Mr. Smith. It isn't really clearly established that it was the whole class at one time. MR. SMITH: It is going to be, if the Court please. The Court has asked this witness a question about what the practice is. THE COURT: Well, I grant you, Mr. Smith, you may question him and request that the record reflect that the Court has asked the witness questions that this was no more than excessive. I was primarily interested in finding out from this man if he was afraid if he mentioned paddling up here that he was going to be in trouble with me. And I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 71 don't want the record to reflect I am opposed to paddling pupils. Nov/, excessive paddling is another thing, but this witness has not been much help to us on degree. I don't know why but I'got the impression that he was afraid the judge was going to not. like it if somebody paddled children and I don’t go with that. I don't want anybody to think that. Go ahead, Hr. Smith. You may question him about the Court's questions. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. Q To what extent has it been your experience that it is practice in Fayette County to whip the whole class at a time? MR. WILLIAMS: Well, again, I object to that question, if Your Honor please,on trie grounds that it is irrelevant. THE COURT: Well, it might be relevant, we don’t want to have to call this man back. I will let him answer it. If it is not established in the proof, of course, it becomes irrelevant. HR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 72 my objection was, based on an evidentiary basis on the fact that he has not established the fact that he has whipped the whole class at one tine is denied. Our objection as to relevancy is in that this witness' own testimony -establishes the school was not aware of the fact at this time. MR. SMITH; Mr. Carothers' testimony established otherwise, if the Court please. THE COURT: Well, it didn’t -- MR. SMITH: And Mr. Bagwell's. THE COURT; Well, I am going to let him answer it and then I will decide what to do with it. A Your question was about whipping the whole class? Q To what extent in your experience is it customary to whip the whole class at a time? * well, now, I don't know whether anybody whipped the whole class at a time. I won't say he whipped the whole class. q well, now, you did testify on direct, in response to a question I asxed you, that it seemed the whole class at a time, and you said that 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 IS 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 73 was a true statement. Now, what I am asking you now is; based on your experience, a teacher whipping a whole class at a time, is this customary practice in Fayette County? A No. Q 7\11 right, sir. Now, you stated you could hear from an adjoining room in response to a Court’s question. You have actually heard this yourself. You have heard the spankings going on yourself; is that not correct? A Yes. Q This is not based on what other teachers have told you? A No. MR. SMITH; That is all. RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY JAR. WILLIAMS; Q You can hear pretty much anything from an adjoining room in a schoolhouse, can't you? A Yen. Q As a matter of fact, a lot of times teachers leave their doors open, don’t they, in the classroom; that is true, isn't it? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 A Yes . Q And isn’t it true that it is not unheard of in Fayette County for a teacher to paddle children for failure to get their lessons sometimes? That is not unheard of in Fayette County, is it? A No . Q Many teachers do that out there, don ’ t they, sir? A Yes . Q Did you ever know of anybody for being discharged for paddling a child for not getting his lesson? A No. MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you, sir. MR. SMITH: Nothing further. THE COURT: All right. I assume we can excuse Mr. Person? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Person. THE WITNESS: All right. (Witness Excused) THE COURT: Now, Mr. Smith, do you have any more proof available today? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 75 MR. SMITH: No, sir, I do not. THE COURT: All right. Mr. Williams, were you able to accomplish much on the information about your stipulation? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. I got all of it worked out except a couple of minor things at the end which we can probably settle by asking a couple of questions right here in the courtroom, if Your Honor please. I got the earnings listed for all of those who earned anything. There are two of them who have been doing some after hours. They haven't had any work at all but they have been doing some selling of literature on commission in the nighttime, which.I don't consider as being earnings which could contribute to mitigation of damages, and, therefore, I had just put an asterisk beside their names and put down at the bottom earned about so many dollars each, and I haven't verified that amount, if Your Honor please. MR. SMITH: We haven't really got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 76 together and gone over this. THE COURT: Suppose we do this: we faced this problem this morning, and I am going to ask tne lawyers to confer about this, and I have had an emergency matter come up during the day. Mr. Sides, I will see you and I can take this opportunity to talk to you. MR. SIDES; Thank'you, Your Honor. THE COURT; And then, Mr. Smith and Mr. Williams and Mr. Crenshaw, if we can cet some of that done today, then I will be willing to come back before normal Court adjourning hours and will ask the court reporter to stay, and whatever we accomplish is that much to the good. Then I would like to get from Mr. Smith an expression cf how many witnesses he expects to put on tomorrow. MR. SMITH: Well, I think I have got four if we can work something out on these figures, but I will tell you quite frankly I am going to have to look these over tonight, if the Court please. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 77 THE COURT: Well, all right. I am not saying you have to work it out. I want you to concentrate on Shaw witnesses, even if we have to adjourn the hearing on damages. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. THE COURT: It does occur to me that you might not be able to stipulate everything about this, but at least we know where we stand and I want to get the -- as much accomplished and then we can find out where we stand from that. So we will just take a recess. As far as the parties are concerned, they are excused because we will have no more proof. Stipulation will be on behalf cf the lawyers. Anybody who wants to stay, of course, they can. MR. SMITH: Well, I will need the parties here to go over these figures. THE COURT: All right, Mr. Smith and Mr. Williams, you may keep your parties here if you care to for any need you may have. Perhaps it will be a good idea. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 78 MR. WILLIAMS: I think he is saying that he needs ray parties, if Your Honor please . MR. SMITH; No, not his parties. THE COURT: Suppose we keep all the named parties here for any use they need. MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, I don't remember. Has this statement been made a part of the record? TIIE COURT; Well, perhaps we should take one copy of it. I don't care whether we use the sworn statement or not. Mark it for identification. The Court's remarks will indicate what the 'Court did with it. I do want to observe that I cannot consider it as proof other than for the purpose of what I let you gentlemen question the man about here in Court. So no one should consider that this was proof, but, for example, there is no inconsistency about his statement that his conference with Mr. Carothers occurred after the meeting when the Board elected not to renew Mr. Shaw's contract. How that is no more or 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 no less than the possibility that he could be wrong, Mr. Smith, as far as you are concerned, and, of course, the possibility for the government and Mr. Williams that he never told that any differently. So it is bound to be right, and, therefore, it is significant for the Court's purposes that it occurred after the fact. I don't think that the man's testimony was inconsistent on that. And I heard what he said in the light of the other problem and I am, as the trier of the facts, will just have to put it in place. I have the impression I am going to hear an awful lot about him from both sides saying, "Look, he was cooperative," all three sides, but that is the way fact questions go. But Mr. Smith has made the statement available with the court reporter's transcript and we will mark that as the next number for identification. THE CLERK; Fifty-eight. (Thereupon, the said document was 79 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 80 marked Exhibit No. 58 for purposes of identification only.) THE COURT: I am going to ask Mr. Sides to come on in my chambers. You lawyers, if the crowd gets noisy, you can go in the jury room. I don't expect it to get noisy. . Mr. Williams, can I see you up here about a matter? (Off the record conference at the Bench. '♦HE COURT: Have you gentlemen completed your effort, exhausted your remedies? MR. WILLIAMS: Your Honor please, we have tried but we haven't -- I don't know -- as far as I am concerned, we can say they are complete but I don't think Mr. Smith will say that they are. MR. SMITH: Well, there are several that they are checking overnight, if the Court please. THE COURT: All right. MR. SMITH: I think it is going to require some checking. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 81 MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, I an just so afraid that this thing will get closed without ray introducing the certificates of these teachers and also getting these interrogatories, the answers to these interrogatories in the record. If I nay be permitted to do so, I would like to do that at this tine to make sure that that is accomplished. THE COURT: All right. MR. SMITH: If the Court please, isn't this a part of his case in chief? We are obviously going to have to come back tomorrow. Couldn't we do this tomorrow after I get through? MR. WILLIAMS: This pertains to the -- it pertains to all the plaintiffs, if Your Honor please, and as I understand it, we are concluding with the -- THE COURT- Mr. Williams, state, without going into detail, just state again what you want to introduce. MR. WILLIAMS: What I propose to do, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 82 if Your Honor please, is offer as an exhibit, as a collective exhibit, a copy of the teaching certificates of each of the plaintiffs, including ~~ Mr. Shaw’s is already in. THE COURT: Yes. nR. \1 ILLIAMS- And, socond 1 y , I » believe . if I recall correctly, when I was yetting interrogatories, answers to interrogatories introduced, I and got up tc about Interrogatory Ho. 17 in the Mererren case at the tine that I was interrupted by Mr. Snith. I should like to introduce and have considered as a part of the record the answers to plaintiffs, the answers filed by the defendants to Plaintiffs Interrogatories Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, if the Court please, of the answers •filed by defendants to the interrogatories. TiIK COURT: How, this is on1y in the McFerrcn case. I seen to renonoer taut you gentlemen had the sane number of interrogatories up to a point and tuc-n you HR. 5JTLLIA/MS: HiS , -'ir. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 83 THE COURT; Is that correct? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. Those are -- answers are filed as Exhibit No. 42 in the record. THE COURT; Up to what? MR. WILLIAMS: The answers are filed as Exhibit 42 in the record. THE COURT; And No. 18, 19, 20, and 21, are they? MR. WILLIAMS: No, sir. They are filed. Actually, those interrogatories were one to 24 -- THE COURT: All right. MR. WILLIAMS: -- in the McFerren case, and we filed the answers to those as Exhibit 42 and they pertain only to the years 1969-70 and '70-*71. We had previously, if Your Honor please, asked Your Honor to consider as a part of the record the answers of the defendants to the interrogatories in the Shaw case which were introduced as Exhibit 24, and I believe we covered all of those up through I believe there are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 84 only about 12 or 13 interrogatories in the Shaw case. THE COURT: All right. MR. WILLIAMS: Maybe — well,-I believe we had asked Your Honor to consider all of those and simultaneously we had asked Your Honor to consider the answers in the McFerren interrogatories from one up through 17, I believe, at the time Mr. Smith stopped us. We would now like to go on from 17 to 21 in the McFerren interrogatories . MR. SMITH: If the Court please, I am not sure I realize all the implications of this, and I can't quite understand why Counsel is so anxious to put a piece of his case in chief on during ray case in chief. Not knowing exactly what is going on I have to ^object to it at this stage, if the Court please . the COURT- Well, in view of the Qpj^ction, I am going to ask mr, omitn to be prepared tomorrow to state his objection. I do not know how the interrogatories 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 85 are worded. I would like to avoid having to have you read them to me. I know I don't want to have you read all the answers to determine the relevancy or competency, but if what Mr. Smith says is correct, I don't blame Mr. Williams for not wanting to overlook it, I mean about being concerned with overlooking it. But we are in the proof in chief. I am inclined to let them in, Mr. Smith, and I think the burden is on you to convince me that they shouldn't be let in, because this is a discrimination case and we have to listen to the truth to determine what they are. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. I am not objecting specifically at this point to the content of the interrogatories on grounds of relevancy because I frankly don’t know exactly what they are right now. I am objecting to him putting the interrogatories in as a part of my case xn chief at this stage. I am objecting to the introduction at this stage. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 86 MR. WILLIAMS: I did not intend to put thera in as a part of h i s -- THE COURT; Well, I think maybe it will save an awful lot of time. Mr. Williams don't consider that I have ruled on it, but,Mr. Smith, the burden is on you and if you do not raise the problem at the end of your proof, tnen we will consider them in. All right. MR. WILLIAMS: May it please the Court, at this time I would also like to file with Your Honor and ask Your Honor to consider a xerox copy that I have had the Clerk to make of this brief -- THE COURT: All right. MR. WILLIAMS: Of this NEA brief in the First Circuit. THE COURT: All right. MR. WILLIAMS: I think it will be very helpful to Your Honor in considering my argument in regard to the due process bit. THE COURT: Is it indexed? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. If Your Honor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 87 please, I think what I really ought to do is give Your honor the copy of the original — THE COURT: I don't mind the xerox copy, Mr. Williams. That will be all right. You can keep that. MR. WILLIAMS: All right. THE COURT: I will file this away. I might get it mixed up and I don't want to be responsible for your printed copy. This is legible. It is just that I don't -- MR. WILLIAMS: I haven’t examined that. I assume the Clerk made a correct xerox copy. I asked them to. THE COURT: All right. Now, I think probably rather than try to work out what you have stipulated, Mr. Smith, will you be prepared in the morning to state what you will agree to on the basis of the figures that Mr. Williams gave you, and, gentlemen, I want to concentrate on the Shaw hearing in the morning on your proof and if we have problems, if we have time we wi11 resolve them. You know that we have a problem anout a death in the family 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 83 of Mr. Crenshaw and I want to conclude this hearing tomorrow if at all possible. And if we cannot, if we have to adjourn the hearing we can at least limit the issues and come back on the question of damages. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. Lest there be any mistake, I may in addition to the Shaw witnesses have some portions of the depositions in the McFerren case that I want to introduce. THE COURT: That is all right. MR. SMITH: I did not mean to give the impression that I had completely closed in McFerren. THE COURT: That is all right. MR. CRENSHAW: If Your Honor please, is there going to be a separate argument as to potential relief? TIIE COURT: Well, we will have to see how much time you are going to leave. I want to get all the proof in and then we will talk about it tomorrow, but it is my understanding, Mr, Crenshaw, that you will not be available on Thursday. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 89 MR. CRENSHAW: That is correct. THE COURT; -- due to this funeral. And if I don't keep you gentlemen on the track we are not going to finish anything. I mean we are not going to complete enough for me to work on Thursday, and if we have to come back, and Mr. Williams indicated in Chambers this morning that he has an appearance in the Supreme Court, I believe, on Monday; is that correct? MR. WILLIAMS: That is correct, yes, sir. THE COURT: Well, as a trial Court I couldn't ignore that and I don’t want word to get out I was running tne Supreme Court too. So it may be we are going to have to separate the hearing until all counsel are available. I don't want to be faced with any hiatus that doesn't complete as much as we can. I have indicated to you gentlemen I want to rule on the McFerren matter and the Shaw matter on the question of discrimination and the propriety of the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 90 failure to rchire or discharge. So come prepared to concentrate on that and then before we adjourn Court we ■ will then see where we are, including argument and maybe proposed findings or something along those lines. I don't think we nave neglected the case. We have worked on it. As I observed, you gentlemen did a tremendous job the week before we started. During the day I inherited a Selective Service case. They want me to issue an injunction before in the morning. So I have a little work to do on that. You may adjourn Court until 9:30 tomorrow morning.

A As far as assignments are concerned, I think in tiie area of supervision, as far as negro supervisors, I think Negroes are widely discriminated against because of the fact that of the large nunbar of Negro faculty members \m have and also because of the large number of Negro student body, we don't have a Negro supervisor. We did have one under the dual school system, but then wnen the Court or do red *• r*U*»v. schools desegregated, v;e lost iii;.;. Q Who was the t? 7Tr, M >*•i *w_ , Alvin Brov/n, and then 1 Ir i->ti'j\» if .l x ooc cuue supervisor and he started working vita materials. I think his official title was materials supervisor.

THE COURT: That is of the 12 plaintiffs in the KcFerran case? MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. THE COURT: Did you include Mrs. Rivers in that? MR. WILLIAMS: No, sir, I did not include Mrs. Rivers but I have Mrs. Rivers’, but I would like leave to put it in, if Your Honor please. I can get it out of my file readily. HR. SMITH;* I would object to Mrs. Rivers for the reason, heretofore stated. THE COURT: Overrule the objection. {Thereupon, the said teaching certif were narked Exhibit Ho. Cl.) HR. WILLIAMS: With regard to the interrogatories, I think Your Honor has already admitted ali of the original Shaw icates the answers to all of the Shaw interrogatories r nnd in addition, Your honor, has admitted all of the interrogatories in the McForren care, the answers to the interrogatories in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 306 the McPerren case from 12 through 16. I am virtually sure of that. I should like to request that the answers to Interrogatories Hos. 17/ 13, 19, 20, 21 bo introduced and considered in evidence in this case. How, if Your honor please, No. 17 is the percentage and number of black teachers and supporting personnel dismissed and reassigned, etc., during the applicable school years. No. 13 is the percentage and number of white teachers and supporting personnel dismissed, reassigned, etc., during the applicable years. No. 19 is the amount of pay which would have been received by the plaintiffs had they not been discharged by the defendants, and incidentally that is found in this folder, if Your Honor please, and they have listed, if Your Honor wants Me to give you those now, I can give t ber to you. These interrogatories tha t I an talking about new, tiio answers are found in exhibit No. 42. TilL COUPTr All right. I don't think 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 3 0 7 you need to road then. HU. WILLIAMS? All right, sir, MR. SMITH; I don't understand the whole thing on that if any will be left out. THE COURT r I just want to see if v;e can finish this other one. If you gentlemen want to make corrections on your stipulations, you night he able to subnit it, but I an not sure you can. HR. WILLIAMS; The answer to No. 20 states the qualifications of the plaintiffs as they appear on the records of the defendants. And the answer to No. 21 is interesting, if Your Honor please, because Ho. 21 is, "State what if any notice, hearing and opportunity for heax*ing was furnished to the specified intervening plaintiff teachers in this case and to the plaintiff, Leroy Shaw, Jr., in Case Ho. C-(>9-221 in this Court before or after their respective dismissals." And the answer to that is, "No notice or hearing was given, but each plaintiff had tho opportunity to request a hearing in each 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 300 case," if Your Honor ploaae. Of course, that has to be considered in the light of oral proof which was given by the defendants. THE COURT: Yes. All right, the Court — is that all, Hr. Williams? MR. WILLIAMS; Yus, sir. I believe that means that all of the answers to all interrogatories are introduced except the answers to the McFerren interrogatories, Hos. 22 to 24, inclusive, which pertain specifically to the private school situations. THE COURT; All right. MR. SMITH; Are you through? MR. WILLIAMS; Yes, sir. •MR. SMITH; Might I at this stage ash two things? First, I ash that the Court judicially notice that Mr. Raaso.* Person and the Misses Adams, who testified here today, Lorine and Lois, and Mr. Person, were black, if the Court please. Also at this stage I would like to move the Court to amend our response to Mr. Williams 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 309 motion to conform to the proof specifically to assert the equitable defense of laches. I don't believe that it was specifically by me assorted in the response and I would like at this time to move the Court for an order purnittintr me to amend to assert the defense of laches. TIIE COURT: As to what? MR. SMITH; As to all of the 13, of the 12 HoFerren plaintiffs into this case and an to Mr. Shaw in the Shaw case. MR. WILLIAMS: I would object to that, if Your Honor please, because there ha3 been no proof here that could under any circumstance lead to any defense of laches. There would be no occasion to amend the pleadings to conform to the proof. THIS COURT: Well, I as mime Mr. Smith has reference to some alleged failure of the — to something before they filed suit. MR. SMITH: Hell, if the Court please, the technical record in this case asserts that on June 3th they swore out the complaint making nil the charges that they make in this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 310 case againat the School Board. The proof by the plaintiffs that at that time — taut Gxtur tiiat txrui \/e nad spacc3 uVdilablo and wore in fact advertising for teachers, that certain of t.ioao ladies and gentlemen nade no attempt whatever to make contact with us. Thu proof also shows that none of tnose ladies and gentlemen, after naviag filed the sworn complaint and having consulted with their lawyer who is now saying we violated due process by not advising the specific plaintiffs of the cnarges and affording there a hearing, that none cf these ladies and gentlemen demanded the hearing which Counsel now asserts that the law requires that we afford there and that we did not have notice of the claim in this case on the part of these specific ladies auu gentlemen in the HoFerreu case until the 3i3t of August at which time we naa changed our position and hat, r.o positions available. HR. CRbllSHAW: lour honor please, I don’t believe it is true there was no notice given 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 311 until the 31st of August. The pleadings in this ease are dated in July and --- / ' MR. SMITii: The pleadings in July say that wo had discriminatorily discharged teachers. None of the specific allegations were brought to our attention, if the Court please, and none of the* remedies which c> iuity s ay s r>us t be afforded were sued for. m;-r> „ We 11, partially you irobably to will should bo allowed to a it a m i /allegedly conform to the proof, but the Court doesn't have any prouieir. with that. because of the way the board handled it, you can say clean hands, and the Board’s notice to these people was deceptive, evasive and untrue, ana they have relied on dofer.se3 that vane their unwillingness to be honest with these people shocking. Go I don't think you are entitled to any eguitable defense of laches. 1 deny the- notion to ni'.enci to assert the defense of Inches. All right, now, you guntler.cn want to argue the Shaw case and I'.cForron case also? 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 312 MR. WILLIAMS: Hay it please* the Court, one last thing I an in horror of forgetting./ ' Before wo begin argument, nay I ask the Court since the Court has allowed the government ten additional days in which to file their brief on the private school situation, in view of the fact that brief would be due tomorrow -- THE COURT: Oh, -- MR. WILLIAMS: Could we also have another ten days within which to file our brief on that? THE COURT: Certainly. Certainly. And, well, the Board of Education is not involved in that, it is true:. Go ahead. As I indicated yesterday, I am still concerned about the area of discrimination in the Shaw case. All right, go ahead, Mr. Williams. (ARGUMENT OF COUHSEL) MR. WILLIAMS: May it please Your Honor, I would like to have Mrs. Rivers’ certificate attached to Exhibit 01. THE COURT: I will comment on Mrs. Rivers' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 313 statu:; in connection with ray ruling. MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir. I would also like to, with' Your Honor’s approval, add her letter she received as IiK5iib.it 1 along with all the plaintiffs in the case, if I nay, if Your Honor please. THE COURT: All right. MR. WILLIAMS: How, if Your Honor please, since the question of pupil-teacher ratios has cons up in the course of Mr. Bagwell's deposition, I asked bin to and he furnished no the pupil-teacher ratios for the years 196!) and 1379 in elementary and high schools. Without objection, I should like to introduce that as an exhibit so the Court will have then before it. MR. SMITH: I would like to see it. MR. WILLIAMS: It in what he furnished to ao. MR. SMITH: Yes, sir. MR. WILLIAMS: All right. Thank, you. THE CLERK: Exhibit 62.

THE COURT• All right. HR. WILLIAMS: That is tile gro3 3 figure. It is not broken down by school or by grades. (Whereupon copies of teacher contracts were submitted in evidence and marked Collective Exhibit No. 63.) TLE COURT: Hr. Clerk, you may adjourn Court.

In 1968, the United States, which j had intervened as plaintiff in said case on September 3, 1965, and the private plaintiffs moved the Court for furthor relief and, j after extensive hearings, the Court filed a memorandum opinion in that case on June 9, 1969, which permitted the defendants therein,iwho are the some defendants in this case, to continue limited free dom of choice in the olomentary schools by grouping certain Negro -ii- ; 320 and white elemontary schools in tho same school zone granting the Neero and white children respectively tho right to chooce tho school which they shall attend within such zones.for the 1 9 6 9 -7 0 school year, but directing tho defendants to file a further re vised plan on or before January 1 , 1970, which would provide a more definite plan for .unitary schools,eliminating such freodom of choice. Since the filing of said motion for further relief in said McForren case in 1968, the defendants, in addition to their foregoing discriminatory practices, have begun systematically to discharge and/or refuse to hire or rehiro Negro male teachers or faculty members where they would or might be assigned to toach in schools attended by white children, solely on account on the race and sex of said Negro male toachors, includingthe plaintiff. Said policies, practices, customs and usages of the defendants violate not only tho rights of plaintiff and other Negro faculty personnel and applicants for employment as such faculty personnel, but also the rights of Negro children attending said public schools, as to whoso rights there is a close nexus with those of plaintiffs and othor Negro teachers and teacher applicants for employment here sought to be vindicated and in whoso behalf plaintiff also brings this suit, as more fully appears hereinafter. The members of tho class on whose behalf plaintiff sues are so numerous as to make it impracticable to bring them all individually before this Court, but there are common Questions of law and fact involved, common grievance! arising out of common wrongs, and a common relief is sought for each plaintiff and for each member of the class. In addition, this action meets the other prerequisites of a class action as set forth in subparagraph (b) of said Rule 23. The plaintiff fairly and ade quately represents the interests of the class. IV Defendants are tho County Board of Education of Fayette County, Tennessee, its Superintendent of Schools and the members of said County Board of Education. The defendants are charged with the responsibility under Tennosseo law of operating,and are and have been operating said public school system in Fayotte County, Tonnossee, which is and has boon receiving federal financial assistance within the meaning of Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1961j (Title l\Z United States Code, Soction 2000(d)). 321 V Xh© plaintiff is a graduate and holder of a bachelor's degree from an approved four-year college and is qualified and certified provisionally as a teacher in the field of elementary education by the State of Tennessee, Department of Education. He was employed by the defendant, Fayette County Board of Education, at the begin ning of 1966-67 school year as an elementary school teacher and assigned to said all-Negro Braden-Sihai Elementary School where he has continued in said employment by the defendantsfopithe past three years, that is, to-wit: 1 9 6 6-6 7, 1967-68, and 1968-69. In April, 1969, the plaintiff received a letter from the defendants Superintendent, the date and body of which was as follows: "April 22, 1969 "Hr. Looy Shaw, Jr.2001 Carver, #8 Memphis, Tennessee Dear Mr. Shaw: The Fayette County Board of Education regrets that they will not be able to re-elect you for the 1 9 6 9 -7 0 school term. In taking this action it was noted that your major in college was Agriculture Education, and we have not been able to find an opening in your major The Board feels a strong responsibility to try and employ elementary teachers who aro fully certified in the area which they are to teach. The Board has asked me to express their appreciation to you for the service you have rendered in the past and express their regret that we have not been able to find a position in your major field. Sincerely yours, /s/ Hoyte Carothers, Jr.Hoyte Carothers, Jr. SuperintendentHC:je" Upon receipt of said letter, plaintiff immediately sought and obtained a conference with defendant Superintendent during which he informed said defendant of his continuing desire to teach in the field of elementary education, of his continuing effort to further his education in that field by taking post graduate studies and roquos-fced a reconsideration of the foregoing action dismissing him. Upon defendant's suggestion, plaintiff thereupon wroto to the State Department of Education for detailed information regard ing his teacher's certificate and pursuant to this request, tho following letter was sent to tho defendant Superintendent from r->4d Department: 322 Mr. Hoyte Carothers Superintendent Payette- County Schools Somerville, Tennessee 38068 "April 30, 1969 Dear Mr. Carothers: We have examined transcript on which Temporary Certificate number 1+28682 endorsed Grades 1-9 was renewed to July 1, 1970 and find 3 semester hours professional education and 3 semester hours content which can apply on requirements for adding Grades 1-9 to Professional Certificate #[1.2 8 6 8 2.You lack 3 semester hours professional education Grades 1-9 and 3 semester hours in a subject matter area. Yours truly. /s/ A. B. Cooper, DirectorTeacher Education and CertificationABCifrcc: LeRoy Shaw2001 Carver Avenue, Apt 8 Memphis, Tennessee 38lli+" A few days later, plaintiff had another conference with the defendant Superiridndent in which the latter admitted that the foregoing information qualified him for retention as a teacher in . said school system and indicated his intention to so recommend to the defendant Board of Education. Nevertheless, the plaintiff ‘ received a few days later in June, 1969, the following letter from paid defendant Superintendent notifying him of his permanent dis missal As a teacher in said school system: "June 16, 1969 Leroy Shaw 2001 Carver #8 Memphis, Tennessee Dear Mr. Shaw: The Payette County Board of Education did not feel that they could consider your request for re-election as a teacher in Payette County. I id gret that the Board had to take this action, but they felt it necessary to try and find a person with more training aid experience on the elementary level. Please feel free to use me as a reference when applying at another school system. Sincerely yours, /a/Hoyte Carothers, Jr. SuperintendentKC :dpV VI 323 On information £td belief, the defendants have retained in employment many white toachors, both male and female, and several Negro female teachers in said school system for the school year 1969-70 who are less orrx> better qualified educationally and professionally, who have lower or no higher seniority, who are less fully certified or no more certified in the area in which they are to teach, and who have less or no more training and experience on the elementary level than the plaintiff, who is unmarried, and other single male Negro teachers similarly situated, and who are teaching in positions which the plaintiff and said other single male Negro teachers similarly situated are qualified to fill. Some of these white teachers and female Negro teachers do not have college degrees. Likewise, on information and belief, defendants have either hired or are expecting to hire several new white and female Negro non-tenure teachers for said 1969-70 school year who will be teaching in positions which plaintiff and other single male Negro teachers similarly situated were and are qualified to fill. Defendants' foregoing discrimination against male Negro teachers is especially exercised against single Negro males, it being their policy, practice and custom of refining to assist, \hire or rehire unmarried Negro males to schools attended or to be attended by white school children while they freely assign, hire or rehire white teachers, either male, or female or Negro female teachers to such racially integrated schools. On information and belief, within the past year, defendants have dismissed or refused to rehire approximately three other single Negro male teachers in addition to the plaintiff pursuant to and solely because of their foregdng discriminatory policy and practice. Defendants refused to re-elect and, in effect, discharged th6 plaintiff solely bocau3e he vas a single Negro male teacher and in order to prevent his be coming a tenure teacher and being ultimately assigned to a school or schools attended by white children. Defondants have retained and/or rehired several single white male teachers end assigned them to elementary schools and, if plaintiff had been white, ho would not have been discharged, as aforesaid, but would have been re elected for his fourth year, thereby becoming a permanent tenure teacher under the Tennessee Tenure Law. 324 Defendants customarily utilize objective educational and pro fessional standards of comparison, including seniority, in deter mining which white teachers to discharge in event of abolition of teaching position, and which white teacher applicants to employ, and defendants customarily retain white teachers with greater sen- i ority in preference to white teachers with lower seniority where loss of enrollment necessitates abolition of teaching positions, but defendants refused to employ such objective standards or to recognize said seniority rights with regard to the plaintiff and discharged him, as aforesaid, solely because of his race or color and his sex, thereby granting both male and female white teachers and teacher applicants and female Negro teachers and teacher appli- cats a preference on account of race, color and sex, in violation of the rights of the plaintiff and other single male Negro teachers and teacher applicants similarly situated in whose behalf he sues, secured by the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and by the Civil Eights Act of 1961;, Section 601, et seq. Defendants refuse to transfor, assign or reassign the plaintiff and other single male Negro teachers similarly situated as regular teachers with full responsibility and statue,or to employ any new single male Negro teachers as teachers or principals with such full responsibility and statue, in said schools attended or to be at tended by any white children, because of defendants' continuing policy, practice, custom and usage which they have been and still are enforcing, of retaining, employing, and assigning all or predominantly white teachers, principals and supporting personnel in schools attended entirely or predominantly by white students, and refusing to'retain, employ, transfer or assign Negro teachers, principals and supporting personnel to the schools in such numbers or in such manner as to accord thorn full respect and statue in their association with white teaching personnel and in theteaching and supervision of white children, and in refusing to retain, em ploy, transfer or assign single male Negro teachers at all to said schools attended by any white children. -9- 32S V I I The refusal of defendants on account of race, color and/or sex to retain, employ, transfer or assign Negro teachors in or to white or formerly white schools or to any schools attended by white children on a regular basis with such full statue and respon sibility, or to retain, employ, transfer or assign any single male Negro teachers to such schools, or to employ and assign both Negro and white teachers to each school in said school system in sub stantial numbers without regard to sex, or to employ new Negro teachers without regard to sex, .and said manipulation of teaching assignments to eliminate Negro teachers, retains a substantial as pect of racial segregation and discrimination in the schools which prevents the Negro children attending schools in Payette County from obtaining a racially integrated and non-discriminatory educa tion. The discharge and threat of discharge of plaintiff and any other Negro teachers, principals and supporting personnel by defend ants in connection with the assignment of children to the schools constitutes a factor of official ooeroion designed and tending to influence and hinder any freedom of choice by students or their parents under said desegregation plan approved by the Court. The rights of said Negro school children are therefore so closely interwoven with those of the plaintiff that they are appropriate members of the class on whose behalf plaintiff brings this 3uit. VIII The abovementioned policy, practice, custom and usage of defendants in enforcing and maintaining under color of state law, said discrimination and/or segregation on account of race, color and sex in the employment, assignment, transfer, promotion, demo tion, discharge, re-employment, reassignment, retransfer and treat ment of school teachors, principals and other administrative or supporting personnel in said school system and in failing and re fusing to disestablish racial segregation and discrimination in said school system; and their actions pursuant thereto in discharge ing the plaintiff and/or other Negro teachers, principals or support ing personnel similarly situated on account of race, color or sox because of the attendance or expected attendance of white sc hool children in any school to which the plaintiff or such other Negro n_ 326 teachers might be asslgnod, in rofusing to rohire, roinstato or recognise the contractual status of plaintiff and othor Negro teaching personnel, in rofusing because of race, color or sox to apply customary and/or objective standards of comparison in select ing teachers for retention or discharge, in refusing because of race, color or sox to recognize, protect or enforce the seniority rights of plaintiff and other Negro teaching personnel, and in hiring, rehiring, demoting, assigning, reassigning, transferring or retransferring teachers, principals or othor supporting personnel to schools, classes or positions in said School System on a'racially segregated or discriminatory basis, on the basis of racial sex of the teacher, or on the basis of the racial composition or proportion of the students in such schools or classes without regard to the qualifications, or seniority of such teachers or personnel, deprive plaintiff and the class he represents, inchding other Negro teachars or prospective teachers in said County, especially those who are single and male Negroes, ad including all Negro school children attending schools in said County, of due process of law and of the equal protection of the laws secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and are therefore uncon stitutional and void, and also deprive the said plaintiff and the class he represents of rights secured by Title Ij.2, United States Code, Section 1981, and by the Civil Rights Act of 1961)., Section 601, in that they are thereby subjected by said State Officials, under color of State Law, to racial discrimination and/or racial sex discrimination in said public sctool system of Fayette County, Tennessee, which receives Fedoral financial assistance. The injury which the plaintiff and said members of his class suffer as a:result of said discriminatory policies, practice, customs, usages and actions of defendants based on race and/or racial sox, is irreparable and will continue to irreparably injure plaintiff and his class until enjoined by this Court. Any other relief to which the plaintiff and those similarly situated could be remitted would be attended by such uncertainties and delays as to deny substantial relief, would involve multiplicity of suits, cause further lz’reparable injury, and occasion damage, vexation, and inconvenience, not only to plaintiff and those similarly situ- -1 1 - 327 ated, but to defendants aa public officials. IX. Plaintiff is entitled to immediate relief. He is and has been at all times ready, willing and able to perform and has offered to perform his teaching duties for said 1969-70 School Year, but will be prevented from doing so by defendants' actions outlined above. Plaintiff avers that because of his discriminatory dis missal, he is entitled not only to immediate reinstatement and recognition of his tenure status but also to his full contractual salary from the beginning of the School Year 1969-70 about the last week in August 1969 to date of reinstatement in the evont he is not reinstated prior thereto, and to receive same thereafter in due course, and to his reasonable attorney fees as hereinafter prayed. X. Than is between the parties an actual controversy as hereinbefore set forth. WHEREFORE plaintiff respectfully prays that this Court advance this case on the docket and order a speedy hearing of same according to law and after such hoaring: 1. Issue a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction requiring the defendants to immediately reinstate, re elect, rehire and recognize the plaintiff, Leroy Shaw, Jr., as a teacher in the Fayette County School System, including the recogni tion of his seniority and tenure status by virtue of such rehiring, and to assign, reassign, transfer or retransfer him to an appropriate school as teacher in said system without regard to his race, color or sex or the racial composition or proportion of the students in such schools or classes within such schools in which he is so employed to assign him to full and regular responsibilities and stature in said teaching position; and also to pay his regular pay for the period expired from the beginning of the School Year 1969-70 to date of reinstatement in the event such reinstatement occurs after the beginning of said School Year, and all subsequent regular pay as same accrues, pending further orders of tho Cout. 2. That upon tho final hearing this Court enter a decree permanently enjoining the defendants and each of them, their agents, employees and successors from: -1 2 - 328 (a) Employing, assigning, transferring, promoting, demot es* discharging, re-employing, reassigning and retransferring teachers, piiicipals and other supporting personnel in the County School System of said County, including the plaintiff herein, cn the basis of race, color or sex, or in a racially discriminatory manner and from failing and refusing to disestablish existing ra- olal discrimination; (b) Discharging, demoting, refudng to rehire or reinstate or refusing to recognize the contractual status of toach8rs, principals and other supporting personnel in said School System, including the plaintiff herein, on the basis of race, color, sex or national origin because of actual or expected loss of pupils in a school.'whore the pupils served by the plaintiff or other Negro teachers chose and were allowed to choose or were assigned to a school where they could obtain a desegregated education, or because of the assignment of white children to a school formerly serving Negro children only or to a school served wholly or partially by Negro faculty personnel; (c) Discriminating against Negro teachers, principals and other supporting personnel in said School System, including the plaintiff herein, on account of race or color, or on account of * their sex, in the protection and enforcement of their tenure and seniority and/or in the determination of the type of duties or the school to which they are assigned, and/or in the determination of which teacher or other personnel shall be discharged where loss of pupil enrollment necessitates such discharge; and from utilizing or attempting to utilize the State teacher Tenure Daw and/or any other teacher tenure law or other state laws, customs or regulations con ferring discretion upon defendants in the hiring, discharge or re hiring of teachers, principals or other supporting personnel or in the abolition of positions of such teachers and other personnel, in such manner as to discriminate directly and/or indirectly on acoo unt of race, color and/or sex in the hiring, discharge, rehiring, assignment or reassignment, transferring or retransferring of such teachers, principals and other supporting personnel, including the plaintiff, in said school system; (d) Assigning, reassigning, transferring or retransferring teachers, principals or other administrative or supporting porsonne] including. th e p ia i t s t i f f , to schoola# e la a re a c r p o s itio n s itiasid eehvc.'X on a r a c i a l ly **£*e&&tog fcasla e? ©a the b&ois o f tho r& q ia l com position or proportion o f tho stu d en ts in tush cefeosls, cl& sijca ©?•p o sitio n a l (e) M^erJhsl&afclag a^ai:c-at Xogro mala fccc.ehera by fUeofcftrgiog &nC/cr ro fu eic^ to h ire or ro h ire thea uboro t h e ir rs« % m U m e r h ir in g v a x i i c . ee.uso them to fee a ssig n s* t*ltissat<flty to r a c i a l l y in fe r r a te * S cbsols a tte s te d by tM t o a s v a i l «a U ta h {School e h ild r ©« i (r) S f s t m ^ i c & X X r reduel&g th» uusfre? o f tie^ra tosohor* Sr* tho Psy& tto Cc-\mfcy School f'yAtc'i v j #uch d.i t'eUrrgo re-f usUt to b ir o os* rohir® Xtogro t shelters who *&re ro t tcaur© teach ers and c^ stA ^ R tica lly rs'plr-ciiig Jitegro feetefetpe who era d.iechniv;M c r sepSF&ti&d frees the echool e y ste a fo r afty pe*8©« w ith *&£><? taashcr/ (g) Hiking e«|r d is t in c t io n based upon p & m - t ecloi* or io I 329 t>h© op eration o f any Repeat, fa c e t or phase o f sa id coto o l * eseepfc f o r fcho " p M t p o s Q o f A ffirm a tiv e ly dicootoh'Ufihiod pfoeioi scgreg& tloo ood d iecrim io& tiea on Account o f ra-c©, c o lo r , cea oi? t&tleogX origin* 3* y i- A io t if f p reys that th is Court w i l l sward re&ssoKbl* eoaueol fa c e i-o h ie ottornayu f a r s e rv ic e s rovvdere-5, <u;d to la rendered hist in th is ca se , ftnd a llo w the p l a i n t i f f h ie Feasor-Able c o s ts heroin «s4 gran t such fu r th e r , o th e r, a d d itio n a l c r a l t e r n a t iv e 2 'o llc f os siay eppe&r to the Court to ho e u i t a b l a and j-'C t, / .itc :u cy fo r fla il* t i f f IN THE DISTRICT COURT OP THE UNITED STATE3 331 FOR TEE WESTERN DISTRICT OP TENNESSEE WESTERN DIVISION LEROY SHAW, JR., ) Plaintiff ) VS. ) CIVIL ACTION COUNTY BOARD OP EDUCATION OP ) NO.PAYETTE COUNTY, TENNESSEE, a --------public body corporate ad legal )entity, C/O W.

V AVO.I K . W ILL Iih if, JK. I 310 IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE WESTERN DIVISION LEROY SHAW, JR., X Plaintiff X VS. X CIVIL ACTION NO. C-69-221 COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION OF FAYETTE COUNTY, TENNESSEE, ET AL, X Defendants X X ANSWER First Defense The complaint fails to state a claim against de fendants upon which relief can be granted. ' '■— Second Defense Defendants deny the right of plaintiff, or those for whom he assumes to sue, to any injunction, permanent or temporary, against the defendants under the allegations of the complaint and defendants deny that plaintiff, or those for whom he assumes to sue, is entitled to any relief as prayed for. 3-11 Third Defense The plaintiff does not fairly and adequately rep resent the other members of the alleged class in that the rights and interests of the plaintiff are not identical or co-extensive with the rights and interests of the other members of the alleged class but are different therefrom and adverse thereto, and in that other members of the alleged class have rights and interests not possessed by the plaintiff. In particular the defendants deny that the plaintiff, who had no tenure and whom the plaintiffs chose not to rehire for good and sufficient reasons, has stand ing to sue on behalf and represent the interests of teachers who remain in the employ of the Board of Education, or of former teachers the termination of whose employment was based upon different grounds, or of students attending Fayette County schools, or of any persons "in other counties of the State of Tennessee" (see Complaint, page 3, Section III, line 5), or of any other persons, and defendants deny that any such other persons are situated similarly to the plaintiff. Until the plaintiff first establishes that the failure to rehire him was wrongful and that he is en titled to reinstatement, he is not a teacher with the Fayette County schools and has no right to represent those who are. The defendants deny that this action otherwise meets the requirements of Federal Rule 23. Fourth Defense The plaintiff has failed to exhaust the adminis- 2 342 trative remedies available to him. Fifth Defense The claims set forth by the plaintiff in the Complaint herein, and the issues which he seeks to raise in this action, except those relating to the failure to rehire the plaintiff individually, and the relief prayed for in Section X, 2 of the Complaint are identical to the claims set forth, issues raised, and relief prayed for in another, suit now pending in this Court, McFerren, et al, vs. County Board of Education of Fayette County, Tennessee, et al, Civil Action No. C-65-136, and the members of the alleged class whom the plaintiff seeks to represent are substantially the same as those represented by the main plaintiffs in the McFerren case, and so much of the Com plaint as sets forth such claims, raises such issues, and seeks such relief should be dismissed and the relief denied. — Sixth Defense 1 The defendants deny ea.ch and every allegation set forth in Section 1 of the Complaint and aver that this ‘Court has no jurisdiction of this action. II The defendants deny that they have or employ any such policies, practices, customs, or usages as are described in Section II of the Complaint and deny each and every other 3 343 allegation contained in Section II (except insofar as such allegations merely describe the character of this action and of the relief sought). Ill The defendants admit the allegations of the first sentence of Section III. They deny that this action meets the requirement of Federal Rule 23 or that the plaintiff has the right to represent the class of persons described in the second sentence of Section III, as is set forth in more detail in the defendants' Third Defense, above. Defendants admit that the plaintiff was employed by the Board of Education as a teacher in the school years 1966-67, 1967-68, and 1968-69, that he was assigned to the Braden-Sinai school, and that all of the students and faculty of that school were Negro during those years, but defendants deny the remaining allegations set forth in the fourth sentence of Section III of the Complaint on page 4 thereof. Defendants admit that a decree was entered on June 21, 1966 providing for the operation of the schools under a freedom of choice plan. Defendants deny each and every allegation set forth in the sixth sentence of Section III of the Complaint on page 4, but admit the allegations of the seventh sen tence on pages 4 and 5 except that they deny that there were at this time any "Negro" or "white" schools in the county and deny that the plaintiff accurately characterizes the Court's directions with respect to the plan to be filed on or before January 1, 1970. Defendants deny each 4 344 and every allegation set forth in Section III of the Complaint not herein before specifically admitted or denied. IV Defendants admit the allegations of Section IV of the Complaint. V Defendants admit the allegations of Section V of the Complaint which are set forth on pages 6 and 7 thereof, except that they deny that the plaintiff is properly qualified to teach elementary children. VI The defendants admit that they have retained in employment some teachers, Negro and white, male and female, married and single, whose formal qualifications and certifications, seniority and experience are equal to or perhaps less than the plaintiffs, including some without college degrees, but they aver that they have not knowingly retained any persons as teachers who have --exhibited the characteristics upon the basis of which it was determined that the plaintiff shouldnot be rehired. Defendants admit that they have_hired or expect to hire new white and Negro, male and female teachers for the 1969-70 school year (including a Negro male teacher), but deny that plaintiff is qualified to fill the positions to which these teachers have been assigned and deny that they have refused to hire any properly qualified teacher because of considerations of either race or gender, and deny that 5 345 they have or employ any policy, practice, or custom against hiring, rehiring, or assigning Negro males to any schools. Defendants deny each and every allegation contained in Section VI of the Complaint not hereinabove specifically admitted or denied. VII The defendants deny each and every allegation set forth in Sections VII, VIII, IX, and X of the Complaint BURCH, PORTER & JOHNSON By ____________ ______ _________ Charles F.

YX NO. 21 -Civil' 457 ii MEMORANDUM DKCISION The issues before the court in these consolidated cases in- t volve the right of former teachers to be reinstated and compensated for damages by the defendant, Fayette County Board of Education. iCause No. 65-136 is a pending pupil and faculty desegregation . . icase in which the court has had numerous hearings pertaining to I the plan of desegregation of the Fayette. County Board of Education. . Certain Negro teachers who were formerly employed in the system intervened in the cause and alleged that they were entitled to reinstatement and damages because of discrimination against them. Cause No. 69-221 is a separate suit filed by Leroy Shaw, Jr., a | teacher formerly employed by the Fayette County Board of Education, who seeks reinstatement and damages. Due to the apparent similar ity of issues, the cases were consolidated for hearing. I McFERRIN CASE When the case was called for trial there were twelve individual I plaintiffs who were former teachers employed by the defendant Board of Education prior to the 1970-71 school year and who sought reinstatement and damages. It should be noted that an oral motion was made by counsel for theindividual plaintiffs at the commence- i ment of the hearing to add, as a n additional plaintiff, Mrs. Alberta Rivers. Because the Court did not know what specific proof would be required to determine the issues of the case, the Court reserved its ruling concerning allowing Mrs. Rivers to be interveningciddeu as an addit Lena!/plaint i H nt- the commencement of the hearing. For convenience,in this decision the Court will refer to the intcr- - 1- . veiling former teachers as "the plaintiffs" and the defendants ns "Board of Education" or "Superintendent1', as the case may be. All plaintiffs were teachers employed by the Board of Educa tion during the school year 1969-70. Some of the plaintiffs had been employed for many years, such as Mrs. Willie B. Johnson, 35 years, Mrs. Arissie Ovens, 30 years, Mrs. Mabel Walker, 28 years, Mrs. Opal Franklin, 23 years and Mrs. Nannie Mae Cole, 20 years. The remaining plaintiffs had been employed at least one and under four years. T.E. 6. On December.24, 1969, this Court conducted a hearing in the desegregation case which resulted in ordering the defendant to im~ {lenient a strict zone plan of desegregation for the elementary schools, grades 1 through 8, commencing with the second semester of the 1969-70 school year and a similar requirement for a con solidated high school commencing with the school year 1970-71. This ruling prompted a noticeable reduction of pupils commencing in January 1970. T.E. 4 and 5. It is inescapable that this was due to white pupils transferring to private academies in the count Based upon the expected enrollment for 1970-71, the Superintendent I undertook to determine how many of the existing faculty members would not be needed for the next school year. He estimated that the Board would not need between 20 and 25 faculty members for the| 1970-71 school year. Under the policy and the requirement of the state laws pertaining to teachers, the Board annually hold a meet- ji in April to determine which non-tenure teachers would not beII rchired so that they could be notified, In accordance with the !i state law, thirty days before the end of the current school year. jj In a c c o r d a n c e with the practice and procedure, the Supe.rinten- (U-nt undertook to prepare recommendations for the Board’s consider;’. 159 tion at; its April 1970 meeting, tc tin; end that certain teachers would not be rehired, due to the flight of pupils iron the system | j resulting from the Court's desegregation order. The Board met on i April 23, 19 '0, to consider the renewal of contracts for non-tenure teachers. In addition to the Beard members, there were present as . participants at the meeting, Mr. Bagwell, the Superintendent; Mrs. Dorothy Morton, a supervisor, and Mr. Harris Armour, the attendance i teacher, who has additional duties pertaining to record keeping and group insurance within the system. All of the above named, in cluding all members of the Board, were white persons. The defend ant Board contends that the determination of the teachers who were not rehired was based upon definite objective standards. The Board contends that its standards were os follows: 1. Teachers who would not be rehired due to the decreased enrollment would be token from the non tenure teachers employed by the Board. 2, Teachers would be judged on the following criteria: (a) Competency. This included formal educa tion of the teacher, knowledge of the subject matter and ability to convey it to the pupils, which included the ability to maintain discipline. (b) Professional Attitude. This referred to the conduct of the teacher and included the teacher’s personal appearance, ordlincss and cleanliness maintained in the school room and the teacher’s conduct in the community v!Lh matters as promptness in p'y> regard »> t- o to such QjyJ £>>» ! — d c - n c o s o f m o r a l i t y a n d c h a r n e l e r . •160 (c.) Recommentations or complainfs. This in cluded oral or written complaints from principals, supervisors and the superintendent of the system, with particular reliance upon a complaint by the principal of the teacher involved. (d) The need for teachers certified in certain fields. This included whether or not the decreased enrollment would cause the Board to have too many teachers in a particular field, such as physical education or science. The present Superintendent, John E. Bagwell, became superintend ent of the defendant system on September 1, 1969. Sometime during 't!the fall of 1969, Mr. Bagwell learned that the defendant system had historically misapplied the tenure law of the State of ■!Tennessee with regard to its teachers. At the time of his dis covery of this error, and for many years prior thereto, the system had considered all teachers who had been hired for more than three j years to be on tenure. Mr. Bagwell read the law and regulations and determined, if a teacher did not have a degree, it was necessary i to acquire not less than twelve quarter hours of college work during i a three year period to maintain "limited" .tenure. TCA.§49-1406. In preparation for the April 23, 1970 meeting, the Superintendent compiled a list of non-tenure teachers based upon this interpreta tion of the law. It should be noted that no attempt was made to Inotify the individual teachers who had been led to believe that they were on tenure. The proof does reflect that the Superinter.d-/ I- I ent made a general announcement of his interpretation at an early Ar,ril faciOty meeting. The list of teachers not on tenure, com- ci,ni-i'.* .‘:i 1,mU' T.r: r j ."1 1 ,-̂ fd 1-0 he the entire____ •16] ! I l group compared for the purpose of determining who would not be i ellired. Prior to the meeting the Superintendent also notified all principals that each should submit a list of teachers whom he did not wish to have back for the coining year. Prior to the April 23rd meeting, the Superintendent and Mrs. Morton went over certain personnel filed in preparationfor the meeting. The files considered were those about whom complaints had been received, it should be noted that earlier in the school year1 the Superintendent had asked the supervising principals .in the system to prepare rating sheets on their teachers. The record reflects that some rating sheets were made and that they usually had a January 1970 date. The record also reflects that a rating sheet, tv as not made for every teacher and that every principal did nou comply with this request. Xt was the policy of the Superinten ent to have the supervisor make an investigation and fill out a rating sheet if a principal gave a teacher at least two poor marks in a respective category. See, for example, T.E. 29 and 30 per- |taming to Mrs. Anssie Owens wherein the principal gave her a poor] rating in attention to duty and inability to adjust to unusual circumstances, and the suprevisor gave her good marks in all cate- J gories. The Superintendent testified that he had considered per- | sonnel files on all non-tenure teachers prior to compiling his J recommendations for the Board. While it is entirely possible that i I the Superintendent had considered all files over a period of time in order to familiarize himse.lf with his new job ns Superintendent, the Court finds that he did not objectively consider each file at !I the time he was determining which of the 20 to 25 teachers he in- !I tended to recommend for not being rehired. He primarily consider- 1 ed the personnel files of those whom he considered to have prior complaints against thorn. At the Board meeting on April 23, 1970, the Board voted not to rehire 21 teachers end, subsequently, at jj an adjourned meeting, voted not to rehire one other teacher. Of | these 22 teachers, 15 were Negro and 7 were white and all of them, | except one, came from schools which had been former Negro schools or new schools which had been intended to be used as all Negro schools prior to the Court's zoning order. Of the 22 persons, 21 of them were based upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, the other being based upon tho recommendation of Mr. Armour, the i attendance teacher, who testified that he told the Board that Mrs. ! Willie B. Johnson, who had been with the system 35 years, was not a dedicated teacher. He based this upon incidents which had occurr- ) ed nine or ten years before concerning her record keeping while she was an acting principal in a small school, and upon his belief that in 1969 she had knowingly attempted to file a claim for I accident insurance when she was not covered by the group policy. ji He testified he had not disclosed the circumstances of the incidents Inine' or ten years previously but did explain to the Board the in- 1 surance incident. The Court finds that Mrs. Johnson did not know- ■ ingly file a false claim. It should be noted that in January 1970 j l|jj Mrs. Johnson's principal rated her good in seven categories of professional skill and excellent in five categories of personal characteristics. The Board and tho Superintendent considered that it was r.ot !! necessary to disclose to a non-tenure teacher why ho or she was jI , r.ot being rehired and further considered that the remarks, oral !| and written, from the principals cf tho schools concerning thea - t-jarhovB w,.re confidential. Therefore, on April 27, 1970. the ISuperintendent sent a letter to each of tho plaintiffs stating i ithat the Beard hiJ voted to terminate that teacher's contract. i 463 The letter stated that the reason for each teacher being in non tenure status was that he or she failed to meet the state requir- irents for maintaining tenure. T.E. 1. The record reflects that not only did the letter fail to disclose the true reasons that the jvarious teachers were not rehired, such as the alleged filing of a false claim, in the case, of Mrs. Willie B. Johnson, the private communications between the principals and Superintendent in the case of several teachers, the personal debt problems between the teacher and merchants in the community, in the case of Mrs. Rosa Newbern; but also,the record reflects that in the case of some of the teachers who made inquiry, the Superintendent either refused to answer the inquiry, as in the case of Mrs. Dixie Pye, T. E. 33, or gave an evasive and untrue explanation of the failure to rehire, as in the case of Mrs. Willie B. Johnson. T.E. 34,35 and 36. The Superintendent and one Eoard member testified that the plaintiffs would have been entitled to a hearing if they had asked for it. However, it was the testimony of the Superintendent that it would have done no good in the case of some plaintiffs. During the summer of 1970, the defendant system had unprece dented resignations of faculty members, which the Court finds was due to the desegregation order resulting in the formation of private academies in the county. To fill the vacancies caused by the resignations, the Superintendent ran ads in the Memphis news papers for school teachers on June 19, 1970, T. E. 26, and about August 8, 1970. tlo attempt was made to contact any of the non tenure teachers who had been notified that they would not be re hired, in spite of the acute shortage of teachers as the current >car approached, Thchearing in this Court on the consolidated cases lasted five and one-half days. During the hearing proof was offered on j -7- i| 16 1 bow the alleged definite objective standards were applied by the defendants with regard to each plaintiff. Counsel for the Board indicated that it was his purpose to offer proof substantiating the accusations of the Superintendent with regard to the competency professional attitude and basis for the principals' private evalua tion. This was to be done by principals, other teachers, parents i !and citizens in the community. On motion of counsel for the plain tiffs, the Court ruled that such proof would not be received be cause the Court was of the opinion that the proof of the defendant pertaining to the alleged objective standards offered by the de fendant did not meet the tests required. The Court is of the opinion that Rolfe, et al v. County Board I l ! i! iI of Education, Lincoln County, Tennessee, et al, 391 F.2d 77 (C.A.6 I 1968) and other similar cases, constitute the controlling authority pertaining to the rights of the plaintiffs in this case. In Rolfe the Court said: "The rule is that teachers displaced from a school with a racially homogeneous faculty, because of a decrease in students, must be judged for continued employement by definite objective standards with all other teachers in the system." The opinion later states that the plaintiffs Mrs. Rolfe and Mrs. Peebles were non-tenure teachers and were entitled to have their qualifications compared with all other non-tenure teachers in the system. While the teachers in the instant case were not dismissed frem totally segregated faculty assignments, the cause of the cessation of employment was prompted by the Court's desegre gation requirements and, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that the plaintiffs should have been judged by definite objective standards with all other non-tenure teachers within the system. The Court finds that there was not a comparison as contemplated. Tliis is part icularly so in the. eases in V7hieh the Board ’ s reliance v?ar. based primarily upon the comments of the principal who vms certainly not familiar with all of the non-tenure teachers in the system. The Court further finds that the standards employed by the defendants were not: '‘definite objective standards" contemplate The variety of the criteria used was not objective but permitted the Superintendent and the Board to apply, in secret, standards susceptible to the Superintendent's and the Board's whim. See Chambers v. 'Hendersonville City Bd. of Ed., 364 F.2d 189 (C.A. 4 1966). It should be noted that length of service was not a criter in the instant case unless all other things were, equal. With the wide and vague criteria in most cases not previously announced and the method of comparison, there was little likelihood that there 'would ever he a situation where all things were equal and the teachers who had been adequate teachers for automatic renewal of their contracts for 20 to 35 years were not given sufficient consideration for their experience. This Court, therefore, concludes that in this system objective standards should have been state certification, college, work and appropriate credit for length of experience, with the requirement that teachers should be transferred if their qualifications in dicate that they are entitled to be retained in preference to others less qualified. When there is a llolfe situation, namely, a loss of teachers due to desegregation, matters pertaining to in- idents of lack of discipline, altercations v;ith pupils and parents non-payment of debts, alleged filing of false claims, instances of improper record keeping and other similar matters should not be considered in the objective comparison. Such matters should bn treated as dismissals for cause, 4f>5 the* reasons should oc given to 166 the teacher, and the teacher .should be notified that he, or she, is entitled to a hearing on the accusations against her. The Court, therefore, concludes with regard to all twelve plaintiffs that definite objective standards were not employed and the plaintiffs are entitled to be reinstated as of the commence ment of the school year and are entitled to damages in the amount that they would have earned if they had been permitted to teach, less what they might have earned in some other suitable employ- " “ i ment by reasonable diligence. Rolfc v. County hoard of Education, supra, at page 81. In addition to the above Rolfe reasoning there are other con- 1 stitutional deprivations with regard to the. plaintiffs who had long periods of employment with the Board. A non-tenure teacher who has long periods of service with a system acquires a protectiblc interest in his continued employment and his non-re-election must need minimal standards of procedural due process. Lucas, et el v. ̂ Chapman, et al, _ __ F.2d ___ (C.A. 5, decided 8-6-70); Gouge v. iJoint School DIst. No. 1, 330 F. Supp. 984 (W. D. Wis. 1970) — Because the Court has concluded that the defendants did not j make a comparison based upon definite objective standards, it would appear that Mrs. Alberta Rivers was.also a victim cf the i defendants' improper procedure. Furthermore, Mrs. Rivers appears to be in the category of teachers who had a protectiblc interest !i.n her continued employment. T. E. 6 indicates she had 23 years service in the system. ' SHAW C A S E As previously indicated, Leroy Shaw, Jr. filed a separate lav; | ! suit against the Fayette County Board of Education sccicing his 1(»7 I( reinstatement as a teacher and dam ages. From the proof there are distinguishable differences in the claim of Leroy Shea?, Jr., who was not re-clccted in April 1969, and the claims of the twelve former teachers who intervened in the I'cFerrin case and who were not re-elected in April 1970. A full evidentiary hearing was had with regard to the issues in the Shaw case. Leroy Shaw, Jr. contends that he was not re-elected as a j teacher in the Fayette County System for the 1969-70 school year because he was a member of the Negro race and, particularly, because he was an unmarried Negro male. He contends that it was the purpose of the defendant school system to systematically eliminate unmarri-j ed Negro male teachers in desegregated schools. The defendant Board of Education denies that: Leroy Shaw, Jr. was not re-elected as a teacher due to any racial or sex discrimination. The record reflects that Hr. Shaw obtained a Batchelor of Science degree in 1964, with a major and therefore certification in Agricultural Education. Commencing at the beginning of the 1966-67 school year, Mr. Shaw became a teacher in the Fayette C o u n t y S y s t e m a n d , p u r s u a n t t o a t e m p o r a r y c e r t i f i c a t i o n a s a n i e l e m e n t a r y s c h o o l t e a c h e r , h e w a s a s s i g n e d t o t h e a l l N e g r o • !

A t t h e B o a r d M e e t i n g Iof April 22, 1069, Mr. Shaw was not re-elected as a teacher for coming year. The minutes reflect that he was "teaching out of major field, uncooperative". T.E. 23. By letter dated April 22, ' i 1 9 6 4 ,the then Superintendent cf the defendant system advised Mr. Shaw lLni lie had not: been re-elected for the 1969-70 school year because h!s major was in Agricultural Education and they wore not i 408 nM.c to find an opening in his major field. The letter further slated that the. Board felt a strong responsibility to try to cirplo elementary teachers oho are fully certified in the area in which Jicy teach. j. L. 38. This letter was sent to Mr. Shaw pursuant to TCA §43“1306 which pertains to non-tenure teachers and provides that such teachers will continue in service "until they have re ceived written notice from a Board of Education of their dismissal or failure of re-election at least thirty days prior to the. close or the school terra" Mr. Shaw contacted the then Superintendent, Mr. Carothers, and orally conveyed to Mr. Carothers information concerning his temporary certification as an elementary teacher and, particularly, the fact that he had taken some post graduate .work at Memphis State. University in 1967. At Mr. Carothers' re quest, Mr. Shaw obtained written verification of his renewed temporary certificate as an elementary teacher. T. E. 39. By i letter of June 16, 1969, Mr. Carothers advised Mr. Shaw that the Board "did not feel that they could consider your request for re-election as a teacher in Fayette County." T.E. 40. At the time that Mr. Shaw was not re-elected he was completing his third year of teaching in the Fayette County system and, there fore, v7ould have obtained a form of tenure by his re-election to . teach for the 1967-70 school year. TCA §49-1402. Although it is possible that the tenure which he would have received would have been what is known ns "limited" tenure, at that time the Fayette County Board of Education was erroneously applying the rules for ■ tenure and considered that a teacher who had taught three years and was re-elected for the fourth year, was n full tenure teacher. The record reflects that the Superintendent, Mr. Carothers, had a conference, wit, era an who had been the princip:.1Mr. Ransom 1 469 at Bra proof Person April den-Sinai School during the tir.ie Mr. Shaw taught there. The is not clear concerning vrhen the conference was held. Mr. is of the opinion that it was held after the Board met on 22, 1969; whereas, Mr. Bagwell, who served as a supervisor at the time, and the then Superintendent, Mr. Carothers, placed the conference prior to the Board meeting. A.t the time c<£ the conference Mr. Carothers made certain notes which were found in the personnel file of Leory Shaw. These notes, in Mr. Carothers' handwriting, read, in part, "Leroy Shaw - not cooperative -• 6th and 7th grades •* excessive use of paddle - whipped several every day! Did not contribute $3.00 for school picnic, does not listen to suggestions of others including principal." T. E. 52. The Board contends that these notes reflected the true reasons for not re-electing Mr. Shaw at the end of his three year probationary period. Mr. Carothers testified that he did not fully disclose the true reasons, in order to avoid getting the principal, Mr. Person, involved in the reasons for Mr. Shaw's discharge. The proof clearly establishes that Mr. Shaw was a very competent teacher insofar as his classroom performance. This is corroborat ed by former pupils of his who testified as witnesses for the de- 1 fcndant and his former principal. Furthermore, the record relents that Mr. Shaw had received training and worked in the summer Head Start Program where he was considered an excellent faculty member. There is considerable proof concerning the use of the paddle on students for failure to perform school work. There is no p*:oof t to suggest that Mr. Shaw injured any pupil or that the paddling / i was excessive with regard to force. No complaints were received from parents. The defendant contends that the frequency of paddling and the scope, such rr, paddling the whole class, was 170 | pr°°f uhat Mr< shaw uscd Peddling excessively. The proof further reflects, both from the principal and Mr. Shaw, that he had used the paddle more in his first year in the system when he had two classes in the same room. In the year before he was not re-elected he had only one class and disciplined the pupils less. Trial. Exhibits 47 and 57 establish that between the 1964-65 i school year and the 1970-71 school year the number of white teacher, jj increased from 67 to 101; whereas, the number of Negro teachers de creased from 168 to 147. ! I At the end of the 1968-69 school year the defendant system re-' taine.d or hired for the ensuing year 11 unmarried male teachers; two of them were white and were without tenure and nine were Negroes with six of those nine being tenure teachers. Two of I those nine were Messrs. Douglas and Hughes who were new to the system and who are intervening plaintiffs in the McFerrin case . | by virtue of not having been rehire d in 1970. T.E. 24 for j l ij Identification. (Ans. to Interrogatory #9 propounded by Leroy i Shaw to County Board of Education.) In the school year 1968-69 ! !j 38 teachers were terminated, either at the end of the year or j j during the year. Thirty-five of these teachers were termi.nated by resignation, retirement, health or other causes which did net j reflect unilateral Board action in termination. Three were terrn- I | inated by not being re-elected. Two of those who were not re- ! t elected were white and the third was the plaintiff Shaw, the only , i Negro unmarried male who was terminated that year. T.E. 24 for ' ‘ 1j: Identification. (Ans. to Interrogatory #10 propounded by Shaw to defendant). It should he; noted that there is an apparent incon- ! sistcncy between the exerupt of the Board minutes on April 22,i!i!jj 1969. T. E. 23, and the answer to Interrogatory #10, referred to i 471 From the minutes it' appears that Dorothy Plocum was not rocrmmev.d- ' i eel for re.~cl cation in April 1969, whereas, from the answer to the j interrogatory she was terminated from the system in the year 196V- I i 68, due to health. This inconsistency does -not appear to bo con trolling on any of the issues pertaining to the Shaw case. For the year 1969-70 the system employed as new teachers a total of eight unmarried male teachers,six of whom were white and I two of whom were Negro. The two Negroes were Sammy Gordon and - ILowden Anderson. They were not re-elected in April 1970, and are intervening plaintiffs in the McFerrin case. Similarly, two of the white teachers newly hired for 1969-70, namely, Virgil Cox and Timothy Kowe, were not re-elected in April 1970. The failure to re-elect Hr. Shaw in April 1969 was not caused ! by a reduction of faculty members brought about by the desegregationI i order of this Court. Mr. Shaw was not re-elected in a year when there appears to be no more than the normal termination of faculty j members. Therefore, theCourt concludes that the principles of IRolfe v. County Board of Education, Lincoln County,_Term., supra were not. brought into play. For Mr. Shaw to prevail it must be established that the Board discriminated against him due to his Irace, or his race and sex; but the Court is of the opinion that the burden of proving that discrimination is upon Mr. Shaw and r.ot ithe Board of Education as is the case when Rolfe applies. Cf. IRolfe, supra, at p. 80: Chambers v. Hendersonville City Beard of- i Education, 364 F.2d 189 (C.A, 5 1966). While it is true that Payer_ | County Board of Education had not made significant progress in its it I t pupil and faculty desegregation plan by April 1969, at that time there was no court order which would indicate that there would be a need for less teachers T’ I4 lie recordduo to the desegregation plan. 172 I in the hcFcrrih case indicates that the defendant system in 1963 had been ordered to file a revised plan of desegregation in January 1569. This v?as done and the Board proposed a combination freedom of choice and zone plan. Objections were filed to the revised plan and a hearing was conducted in early April 1969. The Court took the matter under advisement and filed its written opinion on June 10, 1959. Therefore, it was not known by the Board or Superintendent what, if any, decrease in faculty would likely occur in the 1963-70 school year. That opinion directed the defendant system to seek the assistance of the Title IV Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, with regard to its faculty assignments. This was done and a judgment v.7as entered on July 31, 1969, approv-; ing the recommendations of the Title IV Center with regard to faculty desegregation in every school. i The Tennessee lav? pertaining to education is set forth in Title 49 TCA. Chapters 12, 13 and 14 pertain to the certification of teachers, rights and duties of non-tenure teachers and teachers' tenure, respectively. Non-tenure teachers must serve a probation- 1 ry peariod of three years before being eligible for tenure status. TCA §49-1306. As previously indicated, this law requires that teachers be notified thirty days prior io the end of the school term if they are being dismissed or not being re-elected. j Tennessee lav? recognizes a difference between dismissal or discharge and failure to re-elect. Shannon v. Beard of Education, Kingsport,; 199 Term. 250 (1955); Johnson v. City of Jackson, 42 Tenn. A?p. 296,305 (1956). If a tenure or non-tenure teacher is dismissed, it is contemplated that there will be notice of the reasons for (he dismissal and an opportunity for a hearing it desired. TCA. §49 J 414, ct sen, nr l TCA. §49-214. On the other hand,., 473 who is not re-employcd, as opposed to dismissed, prior to the completion of bis probationary period is not entitled to notice and a judicial review of the reasons for not re-employing him. Of course, the application of this law is subject to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and discrimination on the basis of race may not be applied in the failure to re-elect ot to discharge. This Court is of the opinion that the facts do not establish that Mr. Leroy Show, Jr. was not re-elected due to his race, or his race or sex, and, therefore, the Court concludes that he should not be reinstated and awarded damages and attorney's fees. The plaintiff also relies on his procedural due process rights in that he was not given notice of the reasons for his discharge and the opportunity for a hearing. Plaintiff, Leroy Shaw, Jr., has not established under the facts a protectible interest by virtue of his long continuing service, as was the case in Luces v. Chapman, F. 2d (C. A. 5, decided 8-6-70), wherein plain tiff was a non-tenure teacher whose contract had been renewed for 11 years and, similarly, Gouge v. School Dist. Uo. 1. 310 F. Supp. 984 (W. D. Wis. 1970), wherein one teacher had served for five years on a series of one year contracts and the other teacher had served for eighteen years on a series of one year contracts. This Court, therefore, concludes that it should not serve as a reviewing authority of the decisions of Boards of Education in the matter of r.ot re-electing non-tenure teachers during or at the end of their three year probationary period, in the absence of a showing of discrimination against the teacher who was not re-elect ed. As previously indicated, the proof does not establish such discrim Th riraination in this case. rhis day of Kovember 1970. (/ j /[{. . p \ /, . '.V, U. S.

Discharging and rofusing to reinstate the plaintiff and all other porsous similarly situated, as a teacher in the Fayetto County School System without any substantial reason at al.L and without affording notico of such rocsons or charges and .the opportunity for a hoaring thereon bofore such discharge: and refusing to reinstate tho plaintiff and pay him back pay after discharging hire without substantial reason and without such notico and hearing." By adding at the end of paragraph VI at page 9 tho following: Plaintiff further avers that defendants discharged him without lawful or substantial reason, that his non-retention as a toacner was accomplished by defendants on a wholly unroacotiod basis without factual support, without affording plaintiff any notico of any chargos or roason for his discharge and without affording him an opportunity fo:- hoaring on any ouch asserted reasons or chargos, thoreby depriving the plaintiff of rights soeurod by tho due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to tno Constitution of tho United States." 478 By adding at the and of tho first paragraph and before the beginning of tho laot paragraph on page 1 1 , the following: " In addition, ovon though a non-tenure torchor, plaintiff had a protectable intorost in hia continued employment not only bocauae bo had boon omployed and re-omployod by tho defendants for threo years under circumstances leading him to expect re employment for a fourth year, but also because the action of defendants damaged and substantially do3troyod his professional reputation and tho ability to pursue hia own profession without arbitrary exclusion by tho State. Said action of the defendants in dismissing or discharging him without substantial roason was subsequently attempted to bo predicated by the defendants on an alleged cause wholly unsupported in fact that i3 to-wit: that plaintiff had boon unccoporative as a toachsr and that he had excessively paddlodd children. Plaintiff vaaff mulshed no ad vance notice of any such alleged reasons or charge before his dismissal and was nover given any opportunityfor hearing upon sane. Said allcgod roason er cause subsequently specified by tho defendants was completely Mao and unsupported in fact. Be cause of said wrongful dismissal, plaintiff has boon uhable to obtain fiu'thor onploymont in the teaching profession in tho ganoral locality in which ho lives although he has applied to other School Boards. Said dismissal of the plaintiff by tho defendants in the foregoing circumstanoot and without notice and hearing effectively denied him of the right to pursue bis pro fession and is unconstitutional and void as depriving him of rights secured by the due procsss clause of the Fourteenth Amend ment to tho Constitution of tho United States."

Tho movant, Mrs. Rivers, was ono of the foregoing two other Negro female non-tonure teachers who wore dismissed. She accom panied tho 13 original Intervening plaintiffs cn their first visit to tho offlco of thc-ir counsel, but, though an Inadvertence, failed to sign tho written retainer of caid counsel which was subsequently executed and was Hereby OJuittou aa an original in tervening plaintiff. Subsequently on 3 October 1970 sh6 signed the rotainer and requested her undersigned counsel to attempt to add her ae a plaintiff in the lawsuit. This matter was inadver tently overlooked by her counsel in the 9 October 1970 homing. However, on 10 Octobor 1970 when Mrs. Rivers learned of tho necessity of boing subjected to possibly grilling examination on discovery deposition by counsel for defendants if she were added as a plaintiff, she requested counsel to defer any action in that regard becauso of fear for herrhealth which is highly deli cate and subject to 0037 breakdown. However, c-a 19 Octobor 1970, at the commencement of tho hearing on said Motion, sho requested her counsel to ask that she be added as a party plaintiff and that her rights and interests be considered along with those of the other discharged toachsrs. Tho movant avors that sho was continuously employed 93 a teacher by defendant* from J.9N2 uo 1951 and from 1965 to 1970, - 2 - f«2 Bbo having boen out during 1951 to 1965 for conditions of health. Sho is conooquontly in substantially the sane position as the original intervening plaintiffs, Mrs. Willie B. Johnson, Mrs. Arrisale Hardy Ovicns and others, and is a member of the class sued for. Sho has boon unable to socuro other employment since her dismissal by dofondants and is in dire circumstances because of said wrongful dismissal. The movant's joinder will not deprive the Court of juris diction over the subject matter of this action and sho manifestly claims an interest relating to tho subject of the action and is so situated that the disposition of the action in her absence may as a practical matter impair or impede her ability to protect that interest. In addition, leaving her unjoined would subject the de fendants themselves to a substantial risk of Incurring double, multiple or otherwise increased costs by virtue of tbo independent litigation of her claim which arises out of tho same transaction, occurrence or sorios of transactions or occurrences, and involves the same questions of law and fact, common to the original inter vening plaintiffs in the action. Further, on Information and belief, the defendants roly on the same ground of claim or defense to this movant's claim as they did in the cases of tbo original intervening plaintiffs and, in the absence of movant being Joined as a plaintiff, defendants probably will decline to grant movant the relief by way of reinstatement and back pay to which she is entitled, thereby impeding hor ability to protect that interest without extended further proceedings. The movant's interest is not adequately represented by the original intervening plainltiffs for the foregoing reasons. Her addition or intervention as a party docs not unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original intervening plaintiffs since tho Court has olrondy rendored n Memorandum Decision on 5 Ilovonbor 1970 determining tho rights of said intervening plaintiffs on princi ples which aro clearly applicable to movant and were therein held to entitle her t.n tho sane reliof granted the original plaintiffs. If tho Court should door: it necessary for this Motion to bo accomhaniod by a pleading as spocifiod in Tula 2l|(c) of the Foeoral Rules of Civil Procedure, the movant horeby adopts as such pleading and incorporate the oamo heroin by roforenoo ver batim tho aforesaid iiotion for Furtbor Rollof and to Allow Addi tional Plain tiffa to Intervene and Join Additional Dofondants herotoforo filed heroin by hor said companion 1 3 Negro toachora in Soptombor 1970, avoring that each and every of tha allegations of said Iiotion for Further Roliof are applicable to tho movant tho came no to onid othor toachora except that as to hor indi vidual circumstances tho movant, Mrs. Alberta IUvors, is a 53 year old widow with a dependent child and was employed in and by tho Fayotta County School System for the years stated above, being assigned to Jefferson Elomontnry School at the time of hor dismissal on 23 April 1970. Sho complotod throe years of college nt Lano Collogo in Juckoon, Tennessee, from 192j.O to 191j3 and did . additional atudioe in the year of 19 6 7 as reflected by her transcript, copy of which is attached horoto marked Exhibit "A.".
