The only question before the trial court on this Section 2255, 28 U.S.C.A. proceeding being one of fact, i. e. whether petitioner's counsel was present in court when he was sentenced, this Court will not disturb the finding of the trial court to the effect that counsel was in fact present.

The judgment is affirmed.
