1Opinion of the Court
HOGAN, Judge.
In this postconviction proceeding under Rule 27.26, V.A.M.R., petitioner Douglas W. Thompson seeks to vacate a life sentence imposed by the Circuit Court of Butler County on June 1, 1961, after a jury had found him guilty of first-degree murder. The trial court has denied an evidentiary hearing and has dismissed the motion on the grounds that all the matters alleged as grounds for relief are trial errors, do not constitute a collateral attack on the judgment and sentence and are therefore not subject to review under Rule 27.26. The petitioner appeals.
