Frank Ballard, a notorious crook, Is
not likely to escape a sentence of ten
years in San Quentin through an APP
parent oversight on the part of the
Court of Appeal as he had hoped. The
Supreme Court considered his claims OF
immunity yesterday and then sent the
case back for review.
The Court of Appeal originally re-
viewed the Ballard case and reversed
the Judgment of the lower court with
out further comment.
section of the Penal Code says: ''If
a Judgment against a defendant is
reversed without ordering a new trial
the Appellate Court must. If he is in
custody. direct him to be discharged. "
There was no order for a new trial nor
an order of discharge, so the prisoner
appealed TO the Supreme Court for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The Justices say the matter must
again be referred to the Court of Ap-
neal for an order of trial or dismissal
The section of the code quoted. in the
onfnion of the Justices, is not to be con
strued quite as literally as the criminal
wished.
