Court Modifies State Habitual Criminal Act The state supreme court Wed nesday declared part of Oregon's habitual criminal statute unconstitutional The decision was based on ac tion by the state against William Frank Cory, Douglas County, who appealed to the high court. The decision reversed Circuit Judge William G. East and declared un constitutional the part of the stat ute giving district attorneys dis cretion to determine whether to proceed by information against a person who has been convicted of a felony not involving personal violence. Corey was convicted of viola tion of the law which forbids con victs from possessing firearms and was sentenced to four years in the state penitentiary in December, 1953. Since Cory had three previ ous felony convictions, the district attorney then filed an information charging him with being an habi tual criminal. After conviction on such information, the trial court set aside the four-year sentence and imposed a sentence of 15 years in the penitentiary. . Cory appealed from both con victions. The Supreme Court held there was no merit in his appeal from the original charge and ordered the . original four-year sentence reinstated.
