Evidently the gentleman from New York has mistaken the statements of the unknown lawyer for the words of the United States judge who handled the case. Both the claim of Gruyich and that of his lawyer are negatived by the fact that an action was commenced to recover the forfeiture and dismissed by consent. The habeas corpus proceeding was likewise dismissed. and Petrovich was eventually deported. There can be no dispute that the aliens entry was illegal. and deliberately so. It is also apparent that he made every possible effort to escape deportation. and it is a fair inference that he would not have surrendered after being released cn bail if he had not thought he could escape through habeas corpus. This matter has cost the Government a considerable sum of money in deportation proceedings and in defending two lawsuits. The claim is utterly without merit. and title I should be stricken from the bill. In handling the Gruyich case the immigration officials in the Buffalo office did their full duty. They enforced the law as we expect them to do it. and their actions are entitled to our support.
