Description
Relator Fulton seeks release from the State Prison. In a verified petition asking us to compel respondent to hear a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, it is alleged that respondent wrote the warden that his court ""would not recognize a Petition filed out of the Prison, by any inmate."" This seemed to require an answer, which has been filed. It appears therefrom that on a plea of guilty to arson in the second degree Fulton was sentenced June 4, 1945, and three months later sent to respondent the coram nobis petition which was noted filed. Respondent sent the petition to the Attorney General requesting that he submit it to the Public Defender. Afterwards ""respondent wrote to the warden of the Indiana State Prison, suggesting to him that inasmuch as the legislature of the State of Indiana had passed an act creating the office of public defender, any future petitions for writs of error coram nobis should be filed by said public defender."" In his answer respondent also asks us ""to notify said public defender to appear in this cause and represent the interests of the petitioner,"" saying that the ""court will hear said petition at any time it is presented to him.""
