Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Bell:
This appeal involves several 1959 convictions during which defendant was represented by an attorney who had tried over a thousand criminal cases. It is to the credit of the attorney that he could not remem*614her some details of exactly what happened in 1959. As so frequently happens in recent habeas corpus and recent post-conviction proceedings and appeals therefrom, there is no doubt of defendant’s guilt — indeed, in most of them, defendant relies solely upon recently created legal technicalities and does not even allege his innocence.
I would affirm all the convictions and judgments of sentences and the orders of the lowér Court which Avere entered in this habeas corpus proceeding.
