Ferguson v. Warden, Md. House of Correction, 9
| Decision Date | 13 November 1958 |
| Docket Number | No. 9,9 |
| Parties | LeRoy Sylvester FERGUSON v. WARDEN, MARYLAND HOUSE OF CORRECTION. Application |
| Court | Maryland Court of Appeals |
Before BRUNE, C. J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT and HORNEY, JJ.
In a petition for leave to appeal from the denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus, the applicant makes but one contention, i. e., that a confession was obtained from him by 'unorthodox and unfair methods used by the police officers.' The voluntary nature of a confession may be raised and contested at the trial of a defendant or upon appeal, but cannot form the basis for a writ of habeas corpus. Johnson v. Warden, 212 Md. 652, 129 A.2d 84; Eberle v. Warden, 209 Md. 657, 121 A.2d 708.
Application denied, with costs.
