which defendant will have to serve an
additional 80 days, making 60 days in
all. Judge Converse in his order
states as follows:
The showing in this class of cases
is not necessarily made in open court
nor by any specific officers. All that
is necessary is that the court be salts
fled that the defendant has violated his
parole or his stay, and being so salts
fled, whether from direct proof, hear
say testimony, current report, or repu-
tation, it becomes the duty of the.
court to see that the punishment fol-
aows. Under the law the defendant
has no right to a formal hearing on
this matter, but the information may
be obtained by the court wholly ex
parte, or in such manner as it deems
best"
