Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas April 7, 1943, No. 22468 (Sullivan v. State)

BEAUCHAMP, Judge.

The appeal is from a fifteen-year sentence in the penitentiary on a charge of murder.

Just before dark on July 24, 1942, a number of members of the Colored Race, male and female it seems, were gathered around a crap game on Seventh Street, North Waco, just around the corner from another street intersecting it. The scene was in front of a beer joint.
