Description
Opinion on Rehearing The respondents have called our attention to our statement as to the time the Attorney General first objected to the proceedings by which the special Judge purported to suspend the sentence. The certified copies of the order book records of the Criminal Court of Lake County (Order Book No. 39, p. 55, December 26, 1952) discloses that ""the State of Indiana by its Prosecuting Attorney having refused to participate in the proceedings herein, does not appear, and the defendant now files herein notice of the Attorney General of the State of Indiana and proof of service thereof made on the 4th day of December, 1952 . . ."" No appearance or objection was made by the Attorney General at the time the purported suspension of sentence was entered by the special Judge. However, on February 20, 1953, C. Ballard Harrison by counsel filed written objection to the filing, on said date, of a petition by the Attorney General of the State of Indiana to require the respondent Murray, as regular Judge, to strike out and expunge from the record the purported judgment by which the special Judge pretended to suspend the sentence of imprisonment.
