But, the title "Ten Little Indians" appears to have been used as long ago as the first staging in the US, in 1944.
"And Then There Were None" was used as the title of the first movie adaptation, in 1945.

The original title did not use "Negroes", but rather another N-word.
But I understand what you mean. The translation I read was titled the same way.
