Henderson v. Warden, Maryland Penitentiary

THOMSEN, Chief Judge.

Henderson’s petition for a writ of ha-beas corpus, which challenges his conviction as a third offender under the Maryland narcotics laws,1 is based on three grounds:(1) “That the indictment alleged two prior convictions for violation of the Narcotic laws, and this indictment was made known to the Jury to the petitioner’s prejudice during his trial as a third offender when the indictment was read to the jury, and therefore in violation of his constitutional rights.”(2) Illegal arrest, and (3) Illegal search and seizure.
