The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court of
Leavenworth county denying petitioner's application for a writ of
habeas corpus. The facts may be stated briefly: In October, 1957, petitioner
was charged by information in the district court of Harvey county
with three counts of obtaining money by false pretenses. During
the course of the trial, counts two and three of the information
were dismissed on motion by the State. The jury found petitioner
guilty on count one. Pursuant to such conviction, he was
sentenced under the Habitual Criminal Act (G.S. 1949, 21-107a) to
a term of ten to thirty years in the Kansas State Penitentiary at
Lansing, where he is presently confined. Petitioner was
represented by court appointed counsel throughout the proceedings
in the district court. Following his conviction, no appeal was
taken from the judgment or the sentence imposed.
