Description
From the record before us it appears that petitioner was arrested on July 28, 1954, and charged with the crime of grand larceny in the second degree. It appears that petitioner and one Edward K. Huisinga, while driving their car on the highway, picked up a hitchhiking sailor, one Russell C. Pasonault. Petitioner and Huisinga had a supply of liquor and as they and Pasonault drove along they stopped and purchased more. Apparently they consumed quite a large quantity of liquor, as the result of which they all became intoxicated. Somewhere along the way petitioner and Huisinga carried Pasonault from the car into a field, where they removed his watch, ring, and some travelers checks, some of which were later found in their car. The value of the stolen property was $95. Shortly after being arrested, petitioner, on the advice of the sheriff, retained counsel of his own choosing. Before appearing in court for arraignment, there were three, or possibly four, conferences between petitioner and his attorney. Petitioner entered a plea of guilty to the offense of grand larceny in the second degree, after which he was charged with the commission of three prior felonies, to which he entered a plea of guilty. He was thereupon sentenced to an indeterminate term in the state penitentiary.
