CRIMINAL LAW; PARDON; UNDERSTANDING HAD WITH IMPERIAL
JAPANESE FORCES AS TO PARDON, NOT PROVEN.—The allegation that there was an
understanding with the Imperial Forces that the convict would be granted pardon
after six months work in the military installation in Davao was not proven. A
computation of his service of the penalty shows that it has not yet expired. So,
petition for habeas corpus is denied.
