Rogers v. State

Supreme Court of Indiana
May 31, 1938
15 N.E.2d 86 (Ind. 1938)

Opinion

No. 27,008.

Filed May 31, 1938.

From Clark Circuit Court; George C. Kopp, Judge.

Proceeding by Roland Rogers for a writ of error coram nobis. From a judgment denying the writ, petitioner appealed. Affirmed.

T. Ernest Maholm, for appellant.

Omer S. Jackson, Attorney-General, and James K. Northam, Deputy Attorney-General, for the State.


The lower court denied appellant's petition for a writ of error coram nobis. The sole ground relied upon for reversal is that the jury commissioners, who drew the grand jury, were not duly qualified for the reason that they, and each of them, did not qualify by taking an oath to support the Federal and State Constitutions.

The precise question here presented was decided adversely to appellant's contention in the recent decision in Steinbarger v State, ante 36, and Foreman v. State, ante 79.

Upon authority of these decisions the judgment of the lower court is affirmed.
