Prisoner Loses Fight
To Prevent Return
To Georgia Jail

An escaped prisoners efforts to
avoid a return trip to a Georgia
jail were squelched today by a
United States Court Of Appeals
decision denying him redress
through District Court here.
BY 81 decision. the court up
held a ruling of District Judge
Jennings Bailey denying a habeas
corpus petition last July 7 for
Lewis A. johnson, ~.
For more than a year, since his
arrest here for Georgia authorities.

argued that he was subjected to
"cruel, barbaric and inhuman
treatment" in the Ocilla (GaD

without preliminary hearing. in
dictment or trial on charges of
burglary.
Prettyman Writes Opinion.
Judge E. Prettyman wrote in
the appeal courts majority opin-
ion that the District Court here
has no right to impure into alleged
mistreatment of a prisoner in one
of the States.
1--WE are asked to assume that
appellant (Johnson) would not
be protected by the court in
Georgia." he wrote. 1--WE not
only decline to make the assump-
ton but we repudiate the Sugges-
ton that we make it. We will not
impugn either the capacity of the
integrity Of the State courts Of
Georgia or any other State"
Judge Prettyman added that
the Federal courts of Georgia
were "as capable and faithful as
are the courts of this or any other
Jurisdiction"
Bazelon Dissents.
He said the confusion and the
animosity which would result
from the course urged upon us
are compelling reasons why we
should not adopt it. just as they
are compelling reasons for the
provision in the Constitution in
the first place."
In a minority opinion, Judge
David L. Bazelon said the right
of the individual to be free from
cruel and unusual punishment
should be observed. He denied
this court is barred from inquiring
into the charges of mistreatment.
Judge Prettyman's decision OBJ
