Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Eli Hershkowitz, Appellant, against V. C. Branham, as Superintendent of Woodbourne Institution for Defective Delinquents, Respondent.

Opinion:
Relator has appealed from an order of the Sullivan County Special Term of the Supreme Court dismissing a writ of habeas corpus and remanding him to the custody of the Superintendent of Woodbourne Institution for Defective Delinquents. The Special Term held that relator is a mental defective and not fit to be discharged from custody. The proof sustains that finding. Order affirmed, without costs. All concur.
