STATE, Respondent, v. PIERCE, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

November 29, 1966.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the appellant there were briefs by Frederick Hersh and John D. Finerty, both of Milwaukee, and oral argument by Mr. Finerty.

For the respondent the cause was argued by Robert E. Sutton, assistant district attorney of Milwaukee county, with whom on the brief were Bronson C. La Follette, attorney general, and Hugh R. O'Connell, district attorney.

HANLEY, J.

Two issues are raised on this appeal:

(1) Did the defendant waive counsel and enter a plea of guilty to the charge freely, voluntarily, and understandingly?

(2) Did the information filed charge an offense within the meaning of sec. 943.38 (2), Stats.?

The question of the withdrawal of the plea of guilty is generally addressed to the discretion of the trial court.1
