It ai revealed that Graves had been
wounded three times with a .48 calibre
revolver and "that the most serious wound
upon the' loJy fi4 been roads with the

OPINIO GIVF8 BEiSOK
The major portion pf the court's opin
ion 'follows : .
"J J. is claimed ip the present indictment
that fjtheridge was pot entitled to citi
zenship because he had been convicted
of felonies in 1905 and 1907 and confined
in -the state penitentiary of New Jersey
for is months and twa .years, respec
tively, of which facta the defendant had
knowledge at the time he aided $nd ad
vised him as stated.
'There is no charge n the Indictment
that JOtberidge did not in fact possess
the requisite moral character or that the
aeienaant maae any raise testimony en
his application for admission,
MAS MAY KEFOJtM
"It is, of course, the duty of an ap
plicant who' has ; been cpnvicted . of a
felony to disclose that fact to the court.
and of the witnesses to make like dis
closure if within their knowledge, and
failure to dq so may be sufficient ground
for setting aside and cancelling tha cer
tificate. But it docs not follow as a
matter of law that because a man has
been convicted of a felony he may not
thereafter reform and o conduct him
self as to satisfy a court that he had
behaved as a man ox good moral char
acter a sufficient length of time te en
title him to admission. Many cases hold
or 'assume that tha ultimata fact ta ba
determined on an application for admis
sion ta citizenship la the pioral character
pf the applicant during the five years
preceding the date of his petition and
that an alien denied admission foe want
ef go4 moral character may renew his
petition five years thereafter and be
admitted, if ha can show to the satisfac
tion of tha court that during such five
year period he has possessed tha re
quisite moral character.
KO CBUfP . CHAEQEP
"It is unnecessary to determine that
question at this time, for o crime is
charged against defepdant unless it is
to be rqled as a matter of 'law that
Etheffdge's convictions of felonies in
1605 and 1907, without more-, deprive
him of the right to apply for and be
admitted, 11 years' thereafter, if he
could show : to tho satisfaction of the
court that, notwithstanding such con
victions, he had reformed and there
after behaved himself aa a man of good
moral character, and I do not think it
csua,
"K Is urged that congress has estab
lished the policy of the' government in
reference to aliens eonvicted ef crimes
involving moral turpitude by proyiding
for their deportation, but this is a part
pf an act regulating the immigration of
aliens t.o, - ana neir residence in,- the
United States, and not of the naturalize?
tion law. It was passed in 191? and
therefore is not applicable to Etheridere's
case, whatever affect it may have on tha
right ta admission of one who Is sub
ject to deportation as provided therein.
"It feflows therefore that the demurrer
is WpU taken and should be sustained.'
