Summary

Ex parte Hawk — Opinion of the Court

Until that remedy has been sought without avail we cannot say that petitioner's state remedies have been exhausted.
Ordinarily an application for habeas corpus by one detained under a state court judgment of conviction for crime will be entertained by a federal court only after all state remedies available, including all appellate remedies in the state courts and in this Court by appeal or writ of certiorari, have been exhausted.
