United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia.

Decided January 22, 1945.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. James R. Kirkland, of Washington, D. C. (appointed by this Court) for appellant.

Mr. Charles B. Murray, Assistant United States Attorney, of Washington, D. C., with whom Messrs. Edward M. Curran, United States Attorney, and John P. Burke, Assistant United States Attorney, both of Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before GRONER, Chief Justice, and EDGERTON and ARNOLD, Associate Justices.


ARNOLD, Associate Justice.

This is an appeal from an order discharging a writ of habeas corpus. In 1941 petitioner waived counsel and pleaded guilty to an indictment for assault with a dangerous weapon. He states that at the time of the alleged offense he was fifteen years old, and at the time of his plea he was seventeen; that he did not intelligently waive the right to counsel and was misled as to the effect his plea of guilty would have on his sentence.
