After reading a book referencing the case, former Smith County Assistant
District Attorney Stan Springerley began his search, with the help of
Records Director Joseph Settanni, to see if the original case files were
still stowed away in the Cotton Belt Building.

“It was very exciting when I came across the first original signature of
Thurgood Marshall, along with the other civil rights attorneys of the era,”
Springerley said.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
