““Under our system of criminal procedure permitting a defendant to move for a new trial tO' test the correctness of the sentence by writ of error or by writ of habeas corpus, the granting of a writ of coram nobis should be exercised with the utmost caution and care by the trial court, and it should be granted only in cases where it quite clearly appears that an error of fact existed before judgment but for which error the judgment would not have been entered.” To’ the same éffect see Gelosi v. State, 218 Wis. 289 , 260 N. W. 442 .”
