Neal v. Warden of Maryland Penitentiary
Neal v. Warden of Maryland Penitentiary
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is an application for leave to appeal from an order of Judge France in the Baltimore City Court, denying the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. A previous application for the writ has been denied by Judge Warnken, also sitting in the Baltimore City Court.
The allegations in the petition for the writ are (1) that the petitioner was denied the right to have compulsory process for his witnesses at his trial, (2) that
It does not appear from the petition that petitioner asked for process to obtain witnesses, that he asked for a copy of the indictment, that he asked for counsel, or that he asked for more time in which to prepare for his defense. We are unable to find from the petition that there was any lack of due process, and, therefore, there is nothing which this Court can consider on a writ of habeas corpus. The application, therefore, will be denied.
Application denied without costs.
