Text: It will be seen that many of the disputes earlier involved in this case now are settled by the appellate court decisions, both State and Federal. It is settled that no Miranda warning was necessary prior to the first interrogation of Iverson on the afternoon of November 27, 1968, and that he was given such a warning prior to his interrogation on the evening of that day. It is settled that there was probable cause for the issuance of the search warrant which produced incriminating evidence (unless we find that Iverson was incompetent when he gave information which was used to obtain the search warrant). It is settled that the circumstances of the preliminary hearing conducted on January 21, 1969, did not violate due process, and Iverson was not prejudiced thereby. Of course, if new evidence at the evidentiary hearing should upset the basis for some of the determinations just mentioned, we should make a redetermination of them.
