the Triple Alliance that Joint military
action be taken by Italy and Austria in
regard to Albania II Is added that the
suggested Intervention Is the reason why

have secured proof that the Mussulmans

VASECTOMY ACT
IS HELD INVALID
Continued From Page ~

by the complainant for the purpose Of
enjoining each and every of the de-
PENDANTS from subjecting him to the
operation.
'Since the action was instituted the
| board Of parole under written opin.
ion of the attorney general of the state
has rescinded its order, and they and
, the prison physician say they will OBJ
| serve such opinion. The opinion of the
attorney general Is based upon the
proposition that the statute is ex post
facto if either of the convictions was
for an offense committed prior to the
enactment of the statute. Complain
ants counsel in argument conceded
the statute is not an ex post facto
one"
! Authorities Are Cited.
The decision then goes into authori-
ties to show that the law is not ex post
facto and that the attorney general
erred in holding it such. 1t is also held
that the attorney general erred in adj
vising the board that the law was ap-
plicable only to persons twice convict
ed of felony since the enactment of
the statute. Next, the decision deals
; with the nature Of the operation and
sets forth that in taking away from a
man the power to procreate, he Is sub
jected to life punishment in violation
of the constitution which guarantees
that no man shall be punished without
jury trial. It Is also pointed out that
the law does not provide certain and
legal method for determining whether
or not man has been twice convicted
of felony, Men change their names,
use assumed names and otherwise con-
ceal their identity while 1t Is not be-
yond reason that two men may have
identically the same name and one
may be made to suffer for the crime
of another. The decision then goes on
to say:
But assuming that the prior convic-
tons all appear of record, and assum-
ing there is no conflict In the testi-
mony and no difficulty in reaching the
conclusion, but little or no advance is
made in determining the question. If it
be said that the statute automatically
decides the question and nothing re-
mains for the prison physician to do
but to execute that which is already Of
record then the statute becomes bill
Of attainder. One of the rights Of. every
man of sound mind is to enter into the
marriage relation. Such is one of his
civil rights and deprivation or suspen-
sion of any civil right for past conduct
Is punishment for such conduct, and
this fulfills the definition Of bill of
attainder, because bill of attainder is
legislative act which inflicts punish
ment without jury trial, as Is fully
discussed and held in the case of Cum
mings vs. Missouri. II U. S. 277, the
