1Opinion of the CourtFansler, J.
On January 21, 1937, the appellants were charged in the Criminal Court of Marion County with kidnaping a taxicab driver. The records of the court show that they appeared in person and by attorney and entered a plea of guilty upon which they were sentenced to life imprisonment in the Indiana State Prison. In 1941,.more than four years later, they filed their separate petitions, denominated “Verified Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis,” seeking to have the judgment vacated and their plea of guilty withdrawn, and to be permitted to plead not guilty, and to be put upon trial.
