Description
1 This is an original petition for habeas corpus brought by Jack Coleman Russell. He alleges in substance that he is being unlawfully detained by the warden of the State Penitentiary. The cause of said unlawful restraint is by reason of a certain judgment and sentence rendered against him on September 2, 1958, in the District Court of Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, for the murder of an elderly lady, Daisy Mae Duval, committed on the night of August 31, 1958. He contends that he was rapidly processed to the point that he did not understand the proceedings, was not advised of his constitutional and statutory rights, and was thereby deprived of due process of law. He alleges that he was run up and down the stairs to the point of exhaustion, and threatened with the electric chair in order to extract the confession from him and to induce him to enter a plea of guilty. He alleges that he was unfamiliar with police methods, their power of suggestion and as to any rights which were his as an individual.
