1Opinion of the Court
ONION, Judge.
This is an original application for writ of habeas corpus brought by an inmate of the Texas Department of Corrections. He challenges the legality of his conviction as an habitual criminal in cause No. 10,850 in the 20th District Court of Milam County on March 23, 1959. His grounds are that he was indigent and was not represented by counsel when he was convicted in cause No. 10,730 in the 20th District Court on April 24, 1953, for the felony offense of aiding a prisoner to escape from jail, and that such cause was alleged and used for enhancement in his 1959 conviction.
