Description

Relator, Norman J. Mastrian, is confined in the State Penitentiary under a life sentence for murder in the first degree. He
was indicted for that crime by the grand jury of Ramsey County on May 8, 1963, but the trial took place in the District Court
of St. Louis County in response to relator's application for change of venue. Relator was convicted, upon a jury's verdict
of guilty, on April 10, 1964, and on May 5, 1964, he made timely appeal from the judgment of conviction. Regrettably, however,
a long delay has occurred in perfecting the appeal because the trial transcript was not completed until May 17, 1967. Relator, some months prior to May 17, 1967, petitioned the District Court of Washington County for a writ of , demanding
his immediate release from imprisonment on the ground that the extraordinary delay in completion of the trial transcript violated
his rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. The writ was discharged by the district
court on February 15, 1967, after an evidentiary hearing. Relator promptly appealed to this court from the order discharging
the writ. We advanced this matter for hearing upon the representation of counsel for relator to the chief justice in chambers
that the real objective of these proceedings was simply to expedite the completion of the transcript, which this court was
prepared to do.
