Magers: Elected three terms as Mayor of Sherman is serving his second term as Commissioner's Court Judge of Grayson County.
The court convicted McCasland of arson on June 5, 1931, and he received the minimum sentence allowable under the law—two years. Upon conviction, he pled guilty to a second charge of rioting, also with a two-year term of imprisonment. Officials subsequently dropped all other charges against him. The local paper observed, after reporting on the McCasland trial, "It was not considered likely that any of the other cases would be called soon." In fact, none of the other cases ever came to trial. In November 1931, a Gainesville court dismissed all charges except those against Jeff Jones, Web Purdom, and Jess Roper. In June 1932, District Judge Ben W. Boyd of Gainesville dismissed all charges against Jones, Purdom, and Roper, an action supported by Grayson County District Attorney Cox. Out of the ninety-six original indictments against fourteen defendants, there was one conviction on two counts with the minimum penalty assessed. Although it is unclear how much time McCasland actually spent in jail, it is known that he was in the state penitentiary in June 1932.
Although McCasland's conviction was for arson, not lynching, Joe Cox (né Joseph Price Cox; 1885–1970, District Attorney at Sherman who assisted in the prosecution, said that McCasland's conviction was the first in Texas growing out of mob violence against a Black man for [allegedly] attacking a White woman.
One of Pearl Farlow's uncles, Malcolm Atnip (1890–1965), reported having been assaulted September 29, 1925, at gunpoint by Anderson Smith, an African American tenant farmer, about 5 miles northeast of Whitewright.
