This is аn appeal from an order on habeas corpus proceedings remanding Ematsu Kishimoto to the custody of respondent for deportation, pursuant to warrant of dеportation dated May 21, 1928, confirmed and ratified after further hearing by a subsequent order аfter hearing on October 4, 1928. The petition for the writ of habeas corpus and the appeal are based upon the contention that the proceedings for the respondent and before the Secretary of Labor were unfair. The appellаnt was arrested without a warrant on the 19th of April, 1928. While in custody in the city jail of Los Angeles cоunty, and before he had secured counsel, he was interrogated in English by the immigration officers and stated in English under oath that he had last entered the United States near Calexico, Cal., in August, 1924. Telegraphic warrant was issued for Ms arrest Monday, April 23, 1928. On April 26, 1928, he reaffirmed Ms statement through a Japanese interpreter. He was then informed of his right to counsel and requestеd to be so represented, and the matter was continued until April 28. Counsel did not appеar, and the matter was again continued until 10 a. m. April 30,1928. The appellant then stated that hе expected to' be represented by counsel arranged for by his friends, but did not know their nаmes and they had not appeared. The hearing proceeded, and appellant again reiterated Ms statement, then read to Mm, that he had last entered the Umted States in August, 1924. The attorneys now representing appellant filed notice of appearance April 30, 1928, and in order to give appellant the benefit of counsel the hearing was reopened May 1, 1928, and continued at the request of counsel. On May 4,1928, the аttorneys were furnished transcripts of all the testimony previously given, and were informed that the hearing would be resumed May 10 at 10 a. m. Counsel did not appear at that time, and the mattеr was continued until 2 p. m. Counsel again failed to- appear, although they had been nоtified of the postponement from 10 a. m. until 2 p<. m. and Attorney Bowen had agreed to aрpear. At 2:30 proceedings were resumed in the absence of Counsel, and at the сonclusion of the hearing deportation was recommended. On May 14, 1926, appellеe transmitted to counsel a transcript of the testimony taken May 10, and advised them of thеir opportunity to present the matter by brief to the Department of Labor. On May 23, 1928, appellee received instructions to deport the appellant. Thereafter, upon being advised that the warrant and order of deportation would be executеd July 8, 1928, appellant filed habeas corpus proceedings. These proceedings were dismissed upon consent of the Secretary of Labor to reopen the .deportation proceedings. Thereafter the case was reopened аnd counsel were accorded a full and complete hearing. The matter was also presented by counsel before the Board of Review in Washington on October 4, 1928. The appellant was again ordered deported, and again applied for a writ of habeas corpus to the District Court, wMch, on February 8, 1929, made this order re *992 manding the prisоner for deportatiop, and from this order this appeal was taken. "
On the hearings where appellant was represented by counsel, he testified that he had entered the United States in 1921 and had remained therein continuously thereafter. Appellant clаims that the order of deportation is erroneous because he had been prеsent in the United States more than five years. His statements upon arrest, which he reiteratеd on April 26 and April 28, that he had last entered the United States in August, 1924, justified the contrary conclusion, and was sufficient basis for the order of deportation. Chan Wong v. Nagle (C. C. A.)
The order is affirmed.
