Description
1 Petitioner, Oren D. Morgan, is currently imprisoned in the State Penitentiary at McAlester by virtue of a judgment and sentence rendered in the Superior Court of Garfield County on December 1, 1955, wherein he was charged by information with the crime of obtaining merchandise by false and bogus check after former conviction of felonies, and was found guilty by a jury who could not agree on the punishment. Judgment and sentence was fixed by the court at 15 years in the State Penitentiary. 2 Petitioner's first contention is that the punishment assessed by the court is excessive. The question of whether punishment assessed by the trial court was excessive is a matter to be considered only on appeal from a final judgment, and cannot be inquired into on habeas corpus. Perry v. Waters, 97 Okl.Cr. 17, 256 P.2d 1119; Bolton v. McLeod, Okl.Cr., 294 P.2d 586, 589.
