In re Faruqi

Court of Appeal of California, Second District, Division Two
Apr 18, 1934
138 Cal.App. 108 (Cal. Ct. App. 1934)

Opinion

Docket No. 2532.

April 18, 1934.

PROCEEDING in Habeas Corpus to secure release from custody. Writ discharged; petitioner remanded.

The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.

Henry L. Knight for Petitioner.

Buron Fitts, District Attorney, and Tracy Chatfield Becker, Deputy District Attorney, for Respondent.


[1] This petition for habeas corpus arises as follows: Petitioner was arrested for violation of chapter 339, Statutes of 1923, as amended in 1931, Act 1970, section 2 (Deering's Gen. Laws, 1931), Deadly Weapons Act (alien carrying weapon), and bound over to superior court for trial. He here claims that the proof of alienage belonged to the corpus delicti, that the only evidence introduced before the magistrate on that subject was as to his own admissions, and that evidence of such extrajudicial statement was improperly received.

The facts do not support the contention that the admissions of petitioner were the only evidence of the corpus delicti, and therefore the point made is not before us.

The writ is discharged and petitioner remanded.

Craig, J., and Desmond, J., pro tem., concurred.
