262 La. 183
    STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Albert WILLIAMS v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 52533.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    June 13, 1972.
   In re: Albert Williams applying for writs

of habeas corpus, certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Writ denied. All issues raised in this application were adjudicated adversely to this applicant in the trial court, and applicant took no appeal from his conviction. The adjudication of these issues has become final and cannot be reurged by application for habeas corpus as applicant seeks to do here. State ex rel. Barksdale v. Dees, 252 La. 434, 211 So.2d 318 (1968).

BARHAM, J.,

concurs. The due process issue raised here was raised in the trial court under legal principles which were then and now applicable — i. e., a physically coerced confession — therefore there being no new theory of law since that trial the issue cannot be relitigated.
