THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. In the Supreme Court of the United States. Writ of Error to the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina. JOHN BROWNFIELD, Plaintiff in Error, against THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Defendant in Error

The defendant in error herein in answer to the petition for writ of error and the assignments of error therewith, and in obedience to the order requiring it to show cause why the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina against the said plaintiff in error as in said writ of error mentioned, should not be corrected, would respectfully show:

I. That the plaintiff in error did not prove nor otherwise offer to prove the allegations of facts stated in his written motion to quash the indictment, and that his written motion to do so, although verified by him, was not of itself proof nor offer of proof of such allegations.

II. That the plaintiff in error did not prove nor otherwise offer to prove the allegations of facts stated in his written motion to challenge the array of grand and petit jurors, and that his written motion to do so, although verified by him, was not of itself proof nor offer of proof of such allegations.

III. That the two exceptions of the plaintiff in error 0003 2upon which his appeal from the Circuit to the Supreme Court of the State was based and set out in assignments of error, do not allege that any such proof was made or offered on either of said motions and that the trial Judge refused the same, but simply assert in general terms that the motions were made on the ground “that there was no member of the race to which the defendant belongs either on the grand jury, which found the bill of indictment, or on the petit jury, which rendered the verdict,” and that the Judge refused the same on that ground. JOHN S. WILSON, Solicitor, Attorney for the State of South Carolina, Defendant in Error.
