JUDGES RULING
QUESTIONED BY
SHERIFE'S MEN

A diminutive Filipino with an un-
ruly shock of lank black hair was
the storm center yesterday after
noon when county Jail officials ac-
lively and successfully protested
what they believed was assumption
Of undue authority by Judge J. E.
Simpson of the FL Centre police
court.
An order authorizing the release
ot Rudy D. Sariano. the Filipino,
was signed by Judge Simpson YES
terday afternoon after he had al
READY sentenced the islander to 30
days in the county Jail for petty
theft, committing him to the Gus
t0dy of the sheriff, and after Sa-
rianO had already served four days
OF the sentence.
Questioning the validity of the
release, Jailer Eddie Nett and his
protegeeS refused to turn the Fill
pino out. after first securing an
opinion by the district attorney that
the judge was exceeding his author
ity in releasing a man after he al
ready had started to serve the SEN
tence. and had become a county
prisoner by virtue of his commit
ment TO the sheriff.
Kendall B. Perkins, former police
Judge and attorney for Sariano. re-
eognized the legality Of the refusal
to release the Filipino. and coun-
tered by making immediate applica-
ton for the parole Of his client
Ernest r. Utley. former district
attorney, happened into the sher-
IFS office while the argument was
still in progress, and ventured the
opinion Judge Simpson could have
released the Filipino il spite of the
fact he had been committed to the
county, but that the judge had wait
ed too long after Sariano began
serving his sentence.
With the argument still lingering
on, Sariano is still in the county
Jail, wondering silently what all the
fuss is about.
