Pederson, immigration officer - in - charge at Hammond, said.Hearing Officer H. E. McNeil, of Detroit, Mich,, who conducted the hearing, found that Sodo was de-portable because:1.

He has been .convicted prior to his last entry into the country of a crime involvingmoral turpitude.Examining Officer James J. Carey, of Hammond, brought outthat Sodo was denied citizenship .: by order of the Illinois supreme flt; court, revoking citizenship granted t;by Judge John E. Pavlik in Calu-^mct City’s city court.cj Furthermore, Carey introducedinto the record a 1928 convictionof Sodo in Lake criminal court onjsa charge of operating a house of j *ill repute.
