262 La. 1074
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Freddie Lee MERRITT v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, et al.
    No. 52639.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Sept. 18, 1972.
   In re: Freddie Lee Merritt applying for writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, certi-orari and prohibition.

Writ refused. Considering the evidence taken by the trial judge, we are of the opinion that the showing made is insufficient to warrant the exercise of our original or supervisory jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion the evidence does not appreciatively show that relator was given the Boykin warnings.

TATE, J.,

concurs in denial. See State ex rel. LeBlanc v. Henderson, 261 La. 315, 259 So.2d 557 (1972).

DIXON, Justice,

dissents.

I am unable to conclude that Boykin has been followed.
