STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Ernest ROYAL v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 54628.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    April 26, 1974.
   In re: Ernest Royal applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion an evi-dentiary hearing should be had. The majority refuses this application on the basis of the trial court’s opinion. The instrument — transcript of plea colloquy — relied upon by the trial judge is not even before this court for review. The trial judge simply adduced that counsel was competent because the judge knew counsel to be a competent lawyer. We have not reviewed anything that counters relator’s allegations.
