Syllabus

<p>1. Chinese Aliens — Deportation—Nature of Proceeding.</p> <p>A proceeding to expel or exclude aliens under the federal law is civil, and not criminal, in its nature.</p> <p>2. Samis — Evidence of Citizenship.</p> <p>Where, in a proceeding for the exclusion of certain Chinese aliens, the only evidence of citizenship offered was certain unsatisfactory testimony of one witness that he was an uncle of defendants, and that they were both born in San Francisco, and defendants refused to be sworn in their own behalf, a finding against the aliens’ right to remain was not erroneous.</p> <p>12. Citizenship of Chinese, see notes to Gee Fook Sing v. United States, 1 C. C. A. 212; Lee Sing Far v. Same, 35 C. C. A. 332.</p>
