The Fight Prevails as Ferguson Won't Budge

John Howard Ferguson, the judge of the case, seems as if he won't ever give in to the constant accusations of Mr. Plessy. Despite the somewhat unexpected, yet aggressive fight from Plessy and his lawyers, Judge Ferguson simply will not take it. He is seemingly opposed to letting Plessy walk away from this case with any sort of gain. Ferguson ruled that Louisiana had the right to "make rules for railroad companies as long as they operated within the state boundaries." It looks like we're in for a long ride here, folks.
