Harris v. Warden, 59 A.2d 748 (Md. 1948)
190 Md. 749; 1948 Md. LEXIS 327
<italic>Per Curiam</italic>.
Harris v. Warden
Opinion of the Court
This is an application for leave to appeal from the refusal of a writ of habeas corpus. The prisoner was convicted of manslaughter by a jury in the Criminal Court of Baltimore, and sentenced to ten years in the Maryland Penitentiary. He was represented at the trial by counsel of his own selection.
The applicant states that he is totally blind, that he is innocent, and that the witnesses who testified for the State gave false testimony against him. But this court cannot pass upon the legal sufficiency or weight of the evidence. His brief states no facts that would afford grounds for the relief prayed. CompareRountree v. Wright,
Application denied, without costs.
