STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Steven Wayne SUTTON v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 53529.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 24, 1973.
   In re: Steven Wayne Sutton applying for writ of habeas corpus.

Writ refused. The showing made is insufficient to warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction.

BARHAM, J.,

is of the opinion that the writ should be granted to order an evi-dentiary hearing. Relator alleges coercion to plead on a promise of releasing his father and girl friend from incarceration after a month of their incarceration under a charge of vagrancy. A plea obtained on this basis would be invalid. A hearing should be had to determine the actual facts.
