State to make appeal on civil rights ruling
By United Press International
WICHITA — The state will appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court a judge's ruling yesterday that a clergyman did not violate the civil rights of three interracial couples he refused to marry, a prosecutor said.
Sedgwick County District Judge Paul Clark ruled that William G. Barclay, a clergyman at All Fairs Wedding Chapel in Wichita, did not violate the couples' rights because they were free to go elsewhere to be wed or obtain the services of a different clergyman at the chapel.
Barclay, an ordained Baptist minister since 1914, had refused to perform the marriages involving two black and white couples and a African and American Indian couple between September 1863 and March 1884.
BARCLAY CLAIMED THAT
performing the marriages would
violate his interpretation of the
nomenclature indicating interracial
marriages.
The Sedgwick County district attorney's office in May filed charges against Barclay, claiming his actions violated the couples' civil rights on race and religion.
In a pretrial motion, Barclay asked the court to dismiss the case on the grounds that the state could not force him to perform interracial marriages without violating his right to freedom of religion under the state and federal constitutions.
Prosecutors, however, said Barclay violated the couples' right to freedom of religion because their parents were not allowed intermarriages.
They also argued that Barclay violated the state and federal constitution by denying his profes- sions to the couples based on race.
IN HIS DECISION, Clark said Barclay's actions did not prevent the couples from marrying. Two of them went elsewhere to marry and the other was married at the All Faiths Wedding Chapel by a judge of the Sedgwick County District Court.
Furthermore, if the court ruled against Barclay, it would be taking a religious stand favoring interracial marriage. Clark said.
Assistant District Attorney Hank Blaze, chief prosecutor in the case, said the state would appeal Clark's decision directly to the Kansas Supreme Court, using the same arguments.
