Petition for Habeas Corpus Writ Refused
Wesley Smith, inmate at Pontiac branch of the state penitentiary, had his petition for a writ of habeas corpus dismissed by Judge Harry E. Wheat in Carroll county circuit court.

Smith was returned to the penitentiary in 1937 for parole violation, with parole board setting February 26, 1945 as release date. Pontiac officers brought him to Mt. Carroll for the hearing and returned him after the ruling.
