Multiple federal courts have also determined that a trial court’s refusal to sequester witnesses “does not amount to a deprivation of [a defendant’s] constitutional rights[.]” Mathis v. Wainwright, 351 F.2d 489, 489 (5th Cir. 1965) (citation omitted); see also Bell v. Duckworth, 861 F.2d 169, 170 (7th Cir. 1988) (“A refusal to exclude (‘separate’) witnesses until they testify is not a denial of due process . . . the due process clause does not incorporate every refinement of legal procedure designed to make trials fairer or more accurate[.]”).

The court concluded that the language of the will stating, “The provisions of any statute requiring the apportionment or proration of such taxes among the beneficiaries of this will or the transferees of such property, or the ultimate payment of such taxes by them, shall be without effect in the settlement of my estate”, id. at 491, expressed the testator’s intention that the Connecticut appropriation statute did not apply, and that estate taxes were to be paid out of the residuary: It would be difficult to conceive of a clearer direction expressing the thought that death taxes, together…

The Second Circuit ultimately affirmed a summary judgment in favor of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on this issue, holding that the will unambiguously reflected that the state proration statute would not apply, and that the Probate Court's contrary decision did not require a different result, noting that the judges of such courts are laymen and their decisions "are even subject to collateral attack in another probate district."

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the trial court denying the petition for habeas corpus from a state court conviction is affirmed.

Appellant’s complaint that the trial court failed to invoke the rule of sequestration of witnesses does not raise a question that can be reached by federal habeas corpus, since such denial does not amount to a deprivation of appellant’s constitutional rights, United States v. Brooks, 6 Cir., 303 F.2d 851.

The contention that appellant’s constitutional rights were denied him by the knowing use by the State of perjured testimony has not been presented to the state court for relief. It can therefore not be considered here. So, too, was there a failure by the appellant to present to the state court his contention that there had been an illegal exclusion of Negroes from the jury.
