Mr. Justice Powell,
concurring.
I join the opinion of the Court, as I understand it to be consistent with my view that the right to a jury trial afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment is not identical to that guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. See my opinion in Apodaca v. Oregon, reported at 406 U. S., at 369-380 (1972) (concurring in judgment).* I add only that Callan v. Wilson, 127 U. S. 540 (1888), is distinguishable most simply by the applicability to that case of the Sixth Amendment.

The plurality opinion in Apodaca v. Oregon is reported at 406 U. S. 404. My opinion is appended to the Court’s opinion in Johnson v. Louisiana, 406 U. S. 356 (1972), commencing at 366.
