1Opinion of the Court
PRETTYMAN, Chief Judge.
Our appellant, King, was indicted, tried and convicted for assault with a dangerous weapon. The appeal is in f orma pauperis, and his counsel here was appointed by this court. He had court-appointed counsel in the District Court.
The essence of the appeal is an attack upon the method by which the calendar of criminal cases is handled by the District Court. We look at the system, then at the facts here, and then at the points of argument.
Indictments are customarily returned in this jurisdiction on Mondays. Some 1,200 or 1,300 criminal cases pass through the court annually…
