Description
BEALS, J. -- James Lombardi has filed in this court his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, claiming that he is at present confined in the state penitentiary at Walla Walla without warrant of law. It appears that the petitioner was, during the spring of 1924, by information filed with the superior court for Spokane county, charged with the crime of grand larceny. To the information, Lombardi entered a plea of not guilty. June 8, 1924, upon his trial, the jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged. Thereafter, for the crime of which he had been covicted, Lombardi was sentenced to confinement in the state penitentiary for a period of not less than ten years nor more than fifteen years. June 14, 1924, the formal judgment of guilty and the sentence imposed were reduced to writing and signed by the judge of the superior court before whom petitioner had been tried. The usual commitment was regularly issued on the date of the signing of the judgment and sentence.
