1Opinion of the Court
BRYAN, District Judge.,
At the time Emma Willis filed her petition she was under parole for the unexpired portion of a felony sentence from a New York State court, and the sole question is whether a pardon is prerequisite to her naturalization.
Now fifty-three, she has resided in the United States since her lawful entry in 1923, and having married an American citizen prior to 1934, she needs but one year of residence to qualify for naturalization.1 In addition, for the five years preceding her petition she must have been, and she must now be, a person of good moral character.2
