The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Robert James Northrop, Appellant.
   Memorandum by the Court.

The averments in the petition were sufficient to require a hearing. The contentions of the defendant were not conclusively refuted by “ unquestionable documentary proof ” (see People v.

Order reversed, and case remitted to the County Court of Otsego County for a hearing upon the allegations set forth in the petition. Gibson, P. J., Herlihy, Aulisi, Staley, Jr., and Gabrielli, JJ., concur in memorandum by the court.
