Ricail v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction

This is an application for leave to appeal from a denial of a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Warnken, of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. The petitioner was convicted of larceny by Judge James MacGill of the Circuit Court for Howard County and sentenced to eighteen months in the Maryland House of Correction.

The petitioner contends that there now exists new evidence which not only is itself relevant, but which would require the production of witnesses who were not available at the trial. Petitioner further contends that his request for a jury trial before the Howard County Court was denied.
