Black Book Dispute Heads to U.S. Court
The U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that a federal district court must hear Nevada's black book dispute. John Marshall, a gambling figure, sued Gov. Grant Sawyer, the Nevada Gaming Commission and the Desert Inn for 151100 dollars claiming state officials circulated a blacklist of undesirables. Marshall was ousted from the Desert Inn on Oct. 28, 1960, and sought an injunction and damages. The prior judge had dismissed, citing state-court jurisdiction, but the appellate court said the judge lacked authority to abstain.
