OPINION ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
A petition to rehear has been filed in this cause by the defendant, James Thomas Jefferson. The petition does not set forth any new matters not considered by the Court of Criminal Appeals on appeal and by this Court on defendant’s petition for certiorari.
In denying defendant’s petition for cer-tiorari this Court was aware of the incorrect statement “Jefferson was first tried for the rape of Mrs. Bolte,” when as a matter of fact each of the two trials was for the murder of Mr. Bolte. This incorrect statement in the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals was immaterial to the questions raised on appeal, and from an examination of the record resulted from the fact that in a written motion, counsel for the defendant so referred to it. The opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals correctly reviews the evidence, and the law applicable to the assignments of error on the appeal.
The petition to rehear is denied.
