Description
[205 Md Page 647] This is an application for leave to appeal from a denial of a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Harris, in the Circuit Court
for Allegany County. Petitioner was convicted on six charges of forgery in the Criminal Court of Baltimore and sentenced to
a term of four years. He contends (1) that his arrest was illegal, (2) that he was held incommunicado for four days and not
allowed to communicate with his family in an effort to obtain counsel, (3) that court-appointed counsel entered pleas of guilty
to six of the charges without his consent and, in effect, denied him a jury trial, and (4) that the State produced no witnesses
against him.
