Description

Petitioner, convicted in 1933 of the crimes of kidnapping, robbery and robbery while armed, in the Circuit Court of Vigo County, Indiana, an inmate of the Indiana State Prison, appeals from an order of the District Court denying his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner contends that in the proceedings in the state court, denial of right to counsel of his own choice, fixing of excessive bail and imposition of unreasonably severe and multiple punishment worked infringement of his constitutional rights. In those proceedings, the state court appointed for petitioner counsel to represent him. Upon the kidnapping charge, a jury trial resulted in verdict of guilty and sentence for life. Upon the robbery charges, petitioner, being arraigned for a second time, said that he "must be guilty of this charge too." He made no attempt at any time to obtain a review of any of the judgments. Nor has application been made to a state court for a writ of habeas corpus or writ of error coram nobis. When petitioner came to this court as a pauper, in order that his rights might be properly safeguarded, we appointed reputable, experienced, capable counsel to represent him who has prepared and filed an extended brief covering all points involved and submitted oral argument in behalf of petitioner.
