TUASON, J.:

Prudencio Surallo is confined in the New Billbid Prison in Muntinlupa, Rizal, by virtue of a decision dated September 23, 1943 of a general court martial Convened on or about August, 1943, by Colonel R. V. Bowler, Commanding Officer of the 10th Military District, whereby Surallo was sentenced to life imprisonment for alleged violation of the 93rd Article of War of the Philippine Army.
