PARDONS AND PAROLES, § 4 — summary revocation of parole denied. Where plaintiff in error was convicted of the crime of abortion and placed on probation and subsequently the chief probation officer filed a petition with a memorandum of the State's Attorney attached charging commission of a similar crime, and on a rule to show cause the probation was terminated and probationer sentenced, the statements contained in the State's Attorney's memorandum on which the court acted were predicated on hearsay and it was not satisfactory proof of the matters charged, and summary revocation of probation upon hearsay statements, without a hearing, was not a sufficient compliance with the statute (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1941, ch. 38, par. 789; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 37.776).
