259 So.2d 918
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. James Edward LOWE et al. v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, et al.
    No. 52317.
    April 6, 1972.
   There is no merit in the applicant’s complaint.

BARHAM, J.,

fully concurring. We have considered and rejected the relators’ alternative application for habeas corpus although his first plea was for mandamus. We have done so because the trial record before us totally negates relatoi's’ allegations for habeas corpus relief of bias and prejudice on the part of court and counsel. The plea colloquy establishes a waiver of all constitutional rights in a knowing and vohxntary plea with competent coxxnsel.
