Perry v. Shelby
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Decided July 11, 1938No. 4-5156PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtDonham, J.
The appellee, Gertrude Shelby, is a negro woman of less than average intelligence, with little or no knowledge of legal matters, and regarding the transactions revealed by the evidence in this case, relied implicitly on appellant, M. R. Perry, a negro lawyer who has practiced law in Pine Bluff for several years. At the time, as shown by the evidence, he lived in Pine Bluff and was engaged in business as an undertaker, which appears to have been a sort of side-line to his law praetice. The appellee formerly lived in Pine Bluff, but since 1926 has resided in St. Louis, Missouri.
