Synopsis

Daly sought habeas corpus relief from custody while facing prosecution under a municipal ordinance, and the Supreme Court reversed the California Supreme Court's denial of the writ, holding that under California procedure, allegations in the habeas petition attacking the ordinance's validity were admitted as true and, if valid under principles established in the related Dobbins case, entitled Daly to discharge from custody.

Opinion of the Court
Mr. Justice Day

Mr. Justice Day delivered the opinion of the court.

This case is practically-determined by views expressed in Dobbins v. The City of Los Angeles, just decided. It wa^ a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to discharge Daly from custody, in a prosecution under the ordinance under consideration in the Dobbins case. The prayer of-the petition was denied and the writ discharged. In re Daly, 139 California, 216. Under the California practice, in the absence of issue joined the allegations of the petition are taken as true and the facts alleged therein are taken as: admitted. In re Smith, 77 Pac. Rep. 180. The petition made allegations attacking the ordinance which, if true, would render it invalid for the reasons stated in the Dobbins case, supra, and the petitioner upon the record made should have been discharged from custody.

It is therefore ordered that the judgment of the Supreme Court of California be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with the views announced in ' the Dobbins case, supra.
