16 F.2d 1015 (1st Cir. 1927)

Opinion

No. 2093.

January 26, 1927.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts; James M. Morton, Judge.

E.F. Damon, of Boston, Mass. (Walter Bates Farr, of Boston, Mass., on the brief), for appellant.

John W. Schenck, Asst. U.S. Atty., of Boston, Mass., for appellee.

Before BINGHAM, JOHNSON, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.


Kock Tang and Kock Bow are applicants for admission to the country as the foreign-born sons of Young Fung Hing, a native-born citizen. They were ordered deported by the Department of Labor. Thereupon habeas corpus proceedings were instituted in the District Court for Massachusetts. The District Court, following our decision in Johnson, Com'r, v. Kock Shing, 3 F.2d 889, declined to find that the applicants were not afforded a fair hearing before the immigration authorities and entered an order remanding them for deportation, and this appeal was taken. We regard the evidence in this case as less favorable to the applicants than was the evidence in Johnson, Com'r, v. Kock Shing, supra, and see no reason for questioning the order of the court below.

The decree of the District Court is affirmed.

ANDERSON, Circuit Judge, concurs, on the ground that there is clear evidence distinguishing this case from Johnson v. Kock Shing, supra, in which he dissented.
