Mann, Legally
Held In Pen
Says Bingham

Austin Mann, Is, must remain in
the Oregon penitentiary and serve
that remaining portion of the SEN
tence pronounced upon him by Cir
cult Judge Phelps of Umatilla
couty, according to an opinion and
order issued Monday by Circuit
Judge George G. Bingham.
Mann was sentenced in Septen
ber, 1919, to serve from one to ten
years in the penitentiary following
his indictment on larceny charge.
On October Is 1919, he was parol-
ed to Joe Blakely of Pendleton
and his parole was revoked follow
ing his apprehension in the state
OF Washington on a disorderly con
duct charge.
Attorneys for Mann presented a
petition for habeas corpus on the
ground that at the time of being
sentenced, he was less than IS
years of age. The petition asked
that Mann be either placed on the
state reformatory or released from
the state prison. Mann became IL

ruary, 1920. ,as,. ,s-.s...g.,
In his opinion, the Marion coun

situation. The most important OF
these is that if the petition is SUP

ton.
In issuing the order DENYING th.
petition and remanding Mann oyel
to Warden Compton of the Oregor
penitentiary Judge Bingham makes
the following FINDINGS.
If the court is right in its con,
clusions, then the juvenile court
law will not prevent the circuit
court from assuming jurisdiction.
IF, on the other hand, the court
is wrong in it's interpretation nj
would appear that additional legis-
iation should be had in order to
prevent wrongdoers from escaping
