Description
1 This is an original action for an alternative writ of mandamus brought by George Martin Melton, petitioner, against the Comanche County Attorney, Warren H. Crane, and the Comanche County Judge of the Superior Court, John P. Fullerton. In said petition he seeks an order requiring the State of Oklahoma to return him from the Federal Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, where he is now confined, to Oklahoma for a speedy trial in said Superior Court. To the petition a response has been filed. It appears therein that two certain charges of embezzlement are pending in the courts of Comanche County, Oklahoma, against petitioner. In case No. C-587, petitioner was charged on May 23, 1956, by information in the Superior Court of said county with the embezzlement of a Buick automobile of the value of $1,095 from Buster Wyatt Motor Co. The petitioner was released on bail by said court. Thereafter, the case was set for trial for November 29, 1956, and on said date petitioner, through counsel, filed a motion for continuance and as grounds therefor alleged petitioner was then in the county jail in El Paso, Texas, on another charge. The trial court ordered petitioners bond forfeited, and issued a bench warrant for his arrest, which has not been executed, he being now in the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, where a hold order is pending against him from Comanche County, Oklahoma.
