Court Rules PAROLES
Can Have Counsel in
Revocation HEARINGS

Justice Alexander Holtzoff Of Dis
trict Court yesterday ruled that q
man was entitled to representation
by counsel in hearing before the
District Parole Board on a question
OF revocation Of parole.
Justice Holtzoff handed down the
ruling in a habeas corpus proceed
ing involving Edwin F. Tate, 66, who
some years ago received sentences
totaling 40 years for several cases
OF HOUSEKEEPING and larceny. In
November, 1913, he was placed on
parole after serving approximately
is years.
Tate's parole was on condition
that he would not leave the District
without approval of the Parole
Board, Ray L. jenkins, assistant
United States attorney, said. Mr..
jenkins was representing the Gov
eminent in the habeas corpus pro-
|ceeding. Tate, it was claimed, vio-
lated that condition.
On December 5, Tate said in his
petition, he was taken to Lorton Re-
formatory, given perfunctory hear
ing, without counsel and without
being allowed to call witnesses, and
his parole revoked.
Under Justice Holtzoff's ruling,
authorities will be given a chance to
hold another hearing on the ques-
ton of revocation of Tates parole,
but must allow him 30 be repre-
sented by counsel. Furthermore,
the board will be required to receive
evidence Tate and his counsel wish
to present, if admissible under the
rules of evidence.
Pustice Holtzoff in his ruling de-
clared:
THE progress in the direction of a
fair and humane administration of
criminal justice has been in a large
part marked by an extension of the
right of counsel"
Tate declared in the habeas corpus
petition he had been convicted of no
crime while on parole. The court
was informed by Mr.. Jenkins, that
Tate had admitted being arrested in
Virginia on suspicion of bank rob-
berry.
