[1] This is an original proceeding in which the petitioner, James William Fletcher, seeks a Writ of Habeas Corpus to secure his release from Oklahoma State Penitentiary.
[2] His petition alleges only matters which have previously been before this Court on his appeal, (Opinion rendered June 7, 1961, Okla. Cr. 364 P.2d 713); and again in a habeas corpus petition, (Opinion rendered on March 7, 1962, Okla. Cr. 370 P.2d 42).
[3] Therefore, in accordance with the well-established rule set down in the case of Hanger v. State, Okla. Cr. 373 P.2d 272, 273, this court said:
 "Where the Court of Criminal Appeals has denied application for writ of habeas corpus, it will not ordinarily *Page 512 
entertain subsequent application for such writ on same grounds and facts, or any other grounds or facts existing when first application was made, whether presented then or not."
[4] The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is accordingly denied.
[5] BUSSEY, P.J., and JOHNSON, J., concur.
