This appeal is from a judgment of the Campbell Circuit Court sustaining a demurrer to and dismissing the petition of James Mote for a writ of habeas corpus.
Appellant, James Mote, and three other persons were indicted and tried jointly in the Campbell Circuit Court for the crime of keeping a house of ill-fame. All four were convicted and were given the maximum penalty, a fine of $200 and imprisonment in the county jail for one year. Their motion for an appeal was denied by this court and the judgment affirmed in Downard v. Com., Ky., 265 S.W.2d 454.
