Charles F. Hille, of Chicago, Ill., for appellant.
George E. Q. Johnson, U. S. Atty., and Thomas Dodd Healy, Asst. U. S. Atty., both of Chicago, Ill.
Before ALSCHULER, EVANS, and SPARKS, Circuit Judges.
Appellant, an alien and subject of China, was admitted to the United States at San Francisco, Cal., October 1, 1923. In June, 1926, he returned to China, holding a laborer's return certificate on which he again entered the United States, as a returning laborer, May 6, 1927, at San Francisco. In December, 1928, an indictment was returned against him in Cook county, Ill., charging him in three counts with (1) common-law rape, (2) statutory rape, and (3) contributing to the delinquency of a minor female child, upon which indictment, on February 15, 1929, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary by the criminal court of Cook county, Ill.
Appellant was arrested on January 22, 1930, on a warrant issued by an Assistant Secretary of Labor, charging appellant with having been sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year because of conviction in this country of a crime involving moral turpitude, to wit, rape, committed within five years after his entry into the United States. A hearing of these charges was had in Chicago before the Immigration Inspector on February 27, 1930, and they were sustained; and as a result thereof a warrant of deportation was issued by the Secretary of Labor, directing that he be returned to China. Appellant thereupon filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and it was issued by the District Court, which, after hearing the evidence, discharged the writ and remanded appellant to the immigration officials for deportation.
From this order appellant has appealed, and in support thereof contends: (1) That he is not guilty of the charges of which he was convicted in the criminal court; (2) that his entry into the United States was more than five years prior to the alleged crimes with which he was charged; and (3) that the alleged crimes with which he was charged do not involve moral turpitude.
The statute upon which this proceeding is based is as follows: "* * * except as hereinafter provided, any alien who, after February 5, 1917, is sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year or more because of conviction in this country of a crime involving moral turpitude, committed within five years after the...
