Defendant Abe McFarland was convicted of aggravated burglary of the dwelling of G. C. Flint in violation of Article 60 of the Criminal Code,1 On this appeal he assigns two errors to rulings of the trial judge.

During the trial the District Attorney offered defendant’s inculpatory admission or confession to which defense counsel objected that the oral statements were not freely and voluntarily given as required by Section 451 of Title 15 of the Revised Statutes.2

The questioned statements were made to Sheriff Parker. He testified that he first went over the Miranda warnings with defendant point by point, and in addition to reading the warnings he explained them to defendant. He stated that defendant said he understood the warnings. According to the Sheriff, no promises were made to secure a statement, nor were threats made. After explanation of the Miranda warnings, defendant signed a written waiver of his rights and agreed to make a statement. The entire interview took only ten minutes. During this time defendant admitted he entered the Flint home and agreed to direct the officers to the site where he had hidden the weapon he used, a screwdriver. The testimony establishes that he did in fact do this, and the screwdriver was offered in evidence.

The sheriff’s testimony is positive and straight-forward and is uncontradicted. Defendant did not take the stand out of the presence of the jury for the limited purpose of contradicting the sheriff’s testimony. The trial judge who had the opportunity to hear and observe the witness ruled that the statements were free and voluntary. There is no merit to this assignment.

The second assignment of error was reserved to the ruling of the trial judge denying defendant’s motion for a directed verdict.

*324A review of the evidence convine-ingly demonstrates that there is some evidence with respect to every element of the crime charged. The motion for directed verdict was therefore properly denied. State v. Douglas, 278 So.2d 485 (La. 1972). There is no merit to this assignment.

For the reasons assigned, the conviction and sentence are affirmed.
