Affirmed.
Edward H. Chavelle, of Seattle, Wash., for appellant.
J. Charles Dennis, U.S. Atty., and F.A. Pellegrini and Gerald Shucklin, Asst. U.S. Attys., all of Seattle, Wash. (J.P. Sanderson, U.S. Immigration Service, of Seattle, Wash., on the brief), for appellee.
Before WILBUR and GARRECHT, Circuit Judges, NETERER, District Judge.
From an order denying writ and remanding petitioner to the immigration officers for deportation this appeal is prosecuted.
The petitioner is a Chinese of full blood and was born in China. He claims his grandfather Ng Fun was born in the Hawaiian Islands August 12, 1885; that Ng Fun went to China, and in 1902 a son, Ng Ming Yin, was born to him; that petitioner is the son of Ng Ming Yin and was born in China in 1920.
The question for decision is: Was Ng Fook the applicant given a fair hearing?
Consideration of the testimony of Ng Ming Yin and Ng Fun's in Ng Ah Park's application for admission and Ng Ming Yin and appellant as to home in China and surroundings, habits of the alleged father, furnishings in the home, pictures and photographs of wife and mother kept in his home, Ng Quay, Ng Foo and Ng Leong, sons of Ng Ying, brother of appellant's alleged grandfather, lived in the second house in the third row in the same village, and testimony of Ng Foo and Ng Leong in 1931 that Ng Ming Yin was not married, it is emphatically shown that these are material discrepancies and the board's finding has material testimony to support it. The discrepancies are such as could not exist if the relationship of father and son obtained. The finding is binding on the court. The father the alleged son described is not the man the alleged father demonstrated himself to be. The house and colony of houses which the alleged son described is not the house and colony of houses where the father lived. A fair hearing was given.
