Arguments for and against a con-
tinuance in the case of Parker
Singh, indicted by the grand jury
for the murders of Victor r. Ster-
ling and John B. Hager at Calipat-
ria, were heard in the superior court
this morning by Judge Cole. when
the case was called for hearing.
Attorneys Edgar B. Hervev and
0. V. Wilson, counsel for Singh,
filed affidavits with the court. as
serting that they were unable to
locate several Mexican witnesses
whose testimony is considered essen
tial for their client s defense. The
attorneys maintained that the wit
nesses had disappeared from the
ranch at which they were working
when the murders took place, and
cannot now be located, though dill.
gent search had been made for
them.
1t was also asserted that Singh q
father was afflicted with epilepsy,
and that a brother of the defendant
killed third brother together with
the lhtter's wife aud baby, while
suffering from insanity in India and
that the dispositions of folks who
knew Singh, his father and brothers,
in India, have not as yet been re-
eeived and are essential for the
defense. This Indicated that the
defense may be insanity and that
Singh inherited an epileptic taint.
District Attorney Utley filed an
affidavit opposing a continuation,
alleging that the defense attorneys
had not shown due diligence at
tempting to locate the Mexican wit
ncsses in question. He charged that
these Mexicans have been living not
more than five miles from the scene
of the murders since April 1, and
that if the subpoenas for the Wit
nesses had been turned over to the
sheriff S office for service, the
witnesses could have been found.
He asserted that Mexican witnesses
called by the prosecution had been
located without difficulty and that
the defense witnesses could also
have been found. He made verbal
offer to locate the witnesses for
the defense, his offer not being ac-
cepted by the defense counsel.
Upon the completion of til argu-
ments by the attorneys, Judge Cole
continued the hearing until 1:30, re-
questing the district attorney to
prepare in the meantime, an affi-
davit regarding the witnesses he
had summoned. His decision re-
garding the continuation will be Civ
/ Ell shortly thereafter.
Members of the jury venire. sum-
moned in the case. We're excused
from the court during the argu-
Inents on the continuation. and were
ordered upon their conclusion, to
report in court again at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.

Oregon School
Statute is Not
Constitutional
ny United Press Leased Wire

ny United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, June !. A
state cannot abolish private and
parochial schools, the United States
Supreme court ruled today. The
high court held the Oregon public
school law, which did away with
such schools by requiring all chill
dren between the ages of 8 and 16
to attend public schools was uncon-
stitutional.
The Seventh Day Adventists and
the Protestant Episcopal Society,
both of which maintain church
schools in various places over the
country, joined in opposing the
measure, submitting briefs against
it in the Supreme curt.
Judge McReynolds read the decis-
ion of the court which was unani-
nous.
eve are of the opinion that this
law, if enforced, would destroy pri-
vate schools within the state,' the
decision said. ''We think that the
act interferes unlawfully with the
right of parents to regulate the edu-
cation of their children.
"The child is not a mere creature
of the state. -
An Oregon Federal court decision
giving two schools an injunction
restraining the state Officers from
enforcing the law in September,
1926, when it was scheduled to go
into effect, was affirmed The law
I adopted in general state election
under fhe initiative in November
1922, affected about 10000 children
now in private and church schools.
Appeal For Dismissal
Governor Walter NJ. Pierce, at.
torney General Isaac II. Van Wrinkle
and District Attorney Stanley
Meyers of Multnomah County, who
were named in the injunction, ap-
pealed to the Supreme court to dis
miss it on the grounds that the law
was constitutional exercise of the
police power of the state.
The Hill Military Academy and
| the Society of the Holy Names of
Jesus ana Mary obtained the lower
court injunction on the argument
THAT the law. if enforced, would de-
prive them of their property with
ont due process of law in violation
of the 14th amendment to the con-
stitution.
| The two schools also contended the
measure denied them equal protec-
| tion under the law and impaired
their contracts.
Both schools were incorporated
under the laws Of the state of Ore
gon.
