I think there are less than 500. I can not say accurately. I will say this to the gentleman. that lthe Bureau of Naturalization recently sent an inspector to Nashville. Tenn.. for the purpose of looking into this very matter. Many years ago these citizens secured their naturalization papers in perfect good faith. The Davidson County court assumed jurisdiction. and they have been exercising the rights of citizenship ever since that time. until two or three years ago a case came up in the Federal court and Judge Sanford. the district judge. held that their naturalization papiers were invalid. solely because the county court of Davidson County was not vested with proper jurisdiction. it was not a court of general jurisdiction. but a court having statutory jurisdiction of certain classes of cases.
