GOODMAN, Chief Judge.
Petitioner is confined at the California State Penitentiary at San Quentin pursuant to a judgment of conviction of murder and sentence of death imposed by the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Madera, on October 30, 1951. 1 By an application for the writ of habeas corpus, he seeks his discharge on the ground that the California Superior Court lacked jurisdiction to try him for the murder of which he was convicted because exclusive jurisdiction to try him for such offense was vested by federal statute in the United States District Court.
