1Opinion of the Court
AUGUSTUS N. HAND, Circuit Judge.
The relator Gong Sik Ho, a Chinese boy of the age of 16 years, sought admission to the United States as the son of Gong Suey Ping, a native-born citizen. He was excluded on the ground that there were discrepancies in the testimony submitted which threw doubt on his identity. The nativity and citizenship of Gong Suey Ping (the putative father) are not questioned. Upon a writ of habeas corpus the District Judge found the discrepancies trivial and accordingly sustained the writ and held the relator entitled to be admitted to the United States as a citizen.
