““It was the duty of the trial court here to make a reasonable inquiry into the facts to discover whether a plea of guilty was entered freely and understandingly. Dearing v. State (1951), 229 Ind. 131, 139 , 95 N.E.2d 832 . * * * * * * An accused who has freely and understandingly waived and refused the services of an attorney need not be instructed by the trial judge concerning all of the intricacies of the criminal law. It is enough if the defendant is ‘advised of the nature of the charge against him, the punishment for that specific offense, and his right to have an attorney to advise him concerning the law, if he so desires.’ State v. Minton (1955), 234 Ind. 578, 584 , 130 N.E.2d 226 ; Hoelscher v. State, supra [, 223 Ind. 62 , 57 N.E.2d 770 ].” (Emphasis added.)”
