STATE of Louisiana v. Josh DOUGLAS, Jr.
    No. 61155.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Dec. 9, 1977.
   In re: State of Louisiana applying for supervisory writs. Parish of E. Baton Rouge.

Writ denied. No abuse of discretion.

SANDERS, C. J.,

is of the opinion that a writ should be granted and an evidentiary hearing ordered to determine whether the other rape falls within the guidelines of State v. Carter.

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be denied. Applicant’s showing is not sufficient to warrant the exercise of this court’s supervisory jurisdiction.

CALOGERO and MARCUS, JJ.,

concur. We do not here decide whether evidence of one crime is admissible in trial of the other.
