The following excerpt is from Kelly v. Squier, 166 F.2d 731 (9th Cir. 1948):
It is contended that it is beyond our jurisdiction to consider in habeas corpus such action by the judge because it is an error which the accused might have had corrected on appeal. The contrary was held in Williams v. Kaiser, supra, at page 475 of 323 U.S., 65 S.Ct. 363, 89 L.Ed. 398, a habeas corpus proceeding.
