Description
This appeal is taken from the order of the district court denying the petition of a Texas convict for the writ of habeas corpus.1
We affirm. Appellant, serving a life sentence for rape, filed his petition below alleging that his confession was coerced and was the
direct cause of his entering an involuntary plea of guilty. He also alleges that the confession was introduced into evidence
without a judicial determination first being made as to its voluntariness, that evidence was seized during an illegal search,
that his requests for counsel made prior to giving his confession were denied, that he was not advised of his rights, and
that he was forced to participate in a line-up before the victim.
