Description
Appellant in this proceeding was charged in an indictment returned by the grand jury on March 14, 1955, with having committed
the crime of manslaughter in the first degree. He entered a plea of not guilty and was tried by a jury. Throughout the trial
he was represented by two attorneys. He does not claim that they were not competent to represent him properly. He was found
guilty on April 12, 1955, and sentenced to the state penitentiary on the next day. On May 29, 1957, he petitioned the District Court of Hennepin County for a writ of mandamus to compel the clerk of the district
court to furnish him a free transcript of the testimony at his trial. The petition was denied on August 7, 1957. This appeal
is from such order. Prior thereto he had submitted a similar petition, which was heard on November 9, 1956, and denied on
November 12, 1956. No appeal was ever taken from that order.
