35 F.2d 183 (1st Cir. 1929)

Opinion

No. 2352.

October 17, 1929.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts; Elisha H. Brewster, Judge.

Petition by Mary Ellen Morrow for a writ of habeas corpus to be directed to Anna C.M. Tillinghast, United States Commissioner of Immigration. The petition was denied in the District Court, and petitioner appeals. Appeal dismissed.

James H. Kenney, of Boston, Mass., for appellant.

John W. Schenck, Asst. U.S. Atty., of Boston, Mass. (Frederick H. Tarr, U.S. Atty., of Boston, Mass., on the brief), for appellee.

Before BINGHAM, ANDERSON, and WILSON, Circuit Judges.


In the District Court for Massachusetts the appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus was denied for want of jurisdiction. The immigration authorities found that at the time of her entry into the United States the appellant was mentally deficient; that her mental impairment was such as then to render her liable to become a public charge; and ordered her deported. There was substantial evidence to warrant these findings. They are therefore final.

Appeal dismissed.
