Judge Morrow has denied bail to the
five Los Angeles Chinese now at San
Francisco awaiting the decision of the
United States Supreme Court on their
appeal from the District Courts decision
denying them writs of habeas corpus.
This makes curious complication. The |
Chinese are at present confined in the
Alameda county Jail, though according |
To Judge Ross decision they cannot be |
imprisoned, as they have committed no |
crime. They cannot be deported because
OF their appeal to the Supreme Court. |
and they cannot go free because OF that |
appeal. The Chinese will bring suit |
against Marshal Gard for false imprison-
ment. II he releases them, he will be
guilty OF contempt OF court OF the north
ern district of California, which has re-
fused them bail. If he does not release
them, he is liable for damages on the
ruling OF the District Court OF Southern
California that they are not criminals
and cannot be imprisoned.
