HEALY, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I am not able to agree that the order of the federal court in Kentucky disposes of this petition. The addendum to its order is evidence that the court did not regard as final its ruling on Robinson’s motion for a new trial. The subsequent withdrawal of the motion and supporting papers, with leave of court embodied in the withdrawal application itself, reinforces that view of the court’s understanding. More, it amounts to an implied vacation of the order, which had no basis other than the motion. If that was the net result of the action taken by the Kentucky court, and I think it was, then so far as that court is concerned the whole matter remains at large.
