This is an application for leave to appeal from refusal of a writ of habeas corpus.
Petitioner alleges that he was convicted of burglary without legal justification because he claims that burglary "is the breaking and entering of a house between 9 P.M. and and 6 A.M.", while the prosecuting witness stated that the house was robbed between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. He says that since he has been in prison he remembers that he was not in Baltimore at the time the crime was committed. He asks that this court summon a number of witnesses to testify here. The questions of guilt or innocence and the sufficiency of the evidence cannot be retried on habeas corpus. Olewiler v.
