La décision a pour effet de libérer Hall, un homme blanc reconnu coupable et condamné à mort pour l'assassinat de Ling Sing, mineur chinois dans le comté de Nevada.

Il a été jugé qu'« Indien » désignait toute personne de race asiatique ou que « Noir » s'appliquait à toute personne non blanche.

Three Chinese witnesses had testified to the killing. (en) |
