BARHAM, Justice
(dissenting from refusal to grant writs).
The district court judge admits that defendant pleaded and was sentenced without counsel. The writs must be granted. See Kitchens v. Smith, 401 U.S. 847, 91 S.Ct. 1089, 28 L.Ed.2d 519 (1971), my dissent in Ardoin v. Henderson, 255 La. 1029, 233 So.2d 923 (1970), and my dissents in State ex rel. Walker v. Henderson, 259 La. 712, 252 So.2d 438 and State ex rel. DeVille v. Henderson, 259 La. 951, 253 So.2d 792, and the dissents cited there.
