In Re Cavers

Opinion of the Court

It is the rule of the court that where the Criminal Court of Appeals has denied an application for writ of habeas corpus, it will not ordinarily entertain a subsequent application for such writ on the same grounds or facts existing when the first application was made, wheth *296 er then presented or not.
