The United States District Court
lacks authority to compel the
Parole Board to act on the appeal
for freedom of William R. Deaton,
IS. Judge Burnita S. Matthews
ruled today.
Judge Matthews denied a mo-
ton filed by John M. Webster,
attorney for Deaton, for a man
datory injunction to compel the
Parole Board to return Deaton to
the Jurisdiction of District Court.
Deaton is in Lorton Reforma-
tory serving the eleventh month
of a voluntary" one to three year
sentence because of his own ef-
forts to rehabilitate himself,
Judge Matthews was told.
After his back was broken while
working as a baker three years
ago, Deaton was given narcotics
by physicians to ease his pain,
AS a result he became a drug
addict. He increased a physician s
prescription for narcotics and was
arrested, charged with violating
the narcotics act. Judge Rich
mond B. Keech sentenced Deaton
to serve from one to three years
in prison but Immediately sus-
pended the sentence in l948 and
said he was sympathetic with the
accused mans plight.
Several months later Deaton
voluntarily asked Judge Keech to
revoke his probation in order that
he might be sent to a Federal
hospital to be cured of the mar
cotic habit. At that time Judge
Keech said that Deaton's desire
to rehabilitate himself was ad-
mirable and committed him to the
Public Health Service hospital at
Lexington, KY. In July, Deaton
was discharged from the hospital
as cured and since then has been
