Relief Act Is Held to Bar
Aliens as Administrators

The employment of aliens in
administrative positions is barred
by the terms of the Relief Act for
the current year under a decision
today by Acting Controller General
Richard N. Elliott. He said the
new law was broader than the
Deficiency Act of February, which
had been interpreted by the Con-
troller Generals Office to ban aliens
only from project employment.
The. decision today went to the
Federal Security administrator. at
whose office it was explained that
the United States film service had
desired to employ foreigner for
some motion picture work.
The Acting Controller General
said that while there was some
doubt as to the scope that Congress
intended the ban to have. the
terms of the current statute are
plain and unambiguous, therby
precluding any reference to the
legislative history of the enactment
in determining its effect or purpose. ;"

Case Of Garfield
Assassin Cited as
Slayer Is Doomed
PIeu Turned Down,
Bostic Due to Die
On August IS

The case of Charles J. Guiteau,
President Garfields assassin, was
cited as a precedent by the Court Of
Appeals today in an opinion dis
charging a habeas corpus petition
for James Bostic, convicted colored
slayer.
AS a result of the ruling, Bostic,
saved from execution a dozen times,
will die in the electric chair August
Is unless his lawyers can success
fully appeal to the Supreme Court
Of the United States.
Attorneys for Bostic had unsuc-
cessfully argued both in District
Court and the Court of Appeals that
their client was unlawfully detained
because the indictment under which
he was tried failed to state the place
of death of the murder victim, Will
liam Tuckson, jr., Is, colored. 1t
was argued, too, that Bostic had
been assigned young and inexperi-
enced lawyer at his trial.
The appellate courts opinion,
written by Associate Justice Harold
M. Stephens, said the indictment
in the Bostic case does not disclose
lack of jurisdiction. and recalled
that the United States Supreme
Court in the Guiteau case had held
that where the blow was struck in
the District the court here has juris-
dicion.
An attack upon an indictment
for failure to contain an allegation
OF the place Of death must be made
by appropriate action in the Grim
inal proceeding ITSELF" the court
said, adding: I'VE express no opinion
as to whether such an allegation
is essential to the sufdciency Of an
indictment"
The murder for which Bostic was
convicted occurred in October. 1885.
He was first sentenced to death In
April, 1887, but the execution was
put of IL times and his case has
twice been before the Court of Ap-
peals, requiring successive extern
sions.
