Description
FANSLER, C.J. The relator was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Allen Circuit Court. He was represented at the trial by an attorney of his own choosing, and whom, it is presumed, he had means to pay for the service rendered. A motion for a new trial was overruled. The defendant desires to appeal to this court, assigning error in the trial. The attorney who had represented him declined to undertake the preparation of the record and to prosecute the appeal, upon the ground that, because of lack of training and experience in appellate procedure, he believed himself incapable. At this point it was made to appear to the satisfaction of the court that the defendant was a poor person without means with which to procure a competent attorney or proceed with his defense. The learned trial Judge indicated his willingness to order the preparation of a bill of exceptions and a transcript of the record, but, unable to find authority for the appointment of counsel to perfect the appeal at the expense of the county, declined the appointment of counsel. This proceeding seeks an order mandating the trial court to appoint counsel for the relator to perfect and present an appeal from the judgment against him to this court.
