Description
Petitioner herein was convicted in Los Angeles, October 8, 1940, of the crime of robbery of the first degree and assault with a deadly weapon, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the State Prison. Seeking his release from such imprisonment by writ of habeas corpus, he contends that his conviction was obtained by the use of the testimony of one Alvin M. Cowart, whose testimony was perjured and was known by the prosecuting attorneys to be false at the time it was presented. The petition is accompanied by copies of affidavits of Roy Galbraith, a witness at the original trial, dated May 22, 1943, Selma K. Ellner, who was petitioners attorney at one stage of the proceedings prior to his trial, dated May 18, 1941, Alvin M. Cowart, dated October 1, 1940, and Tom OBrien, a Deputy Sheriff of Los Angeles County, dated October 27, 1943.
