Cranston Carr, Alias Crant Carr v. C. M. Simpson, as Warden, Kilby Prison, Montgomery, Alabama

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Carr appeals from the denial of a writ of habeas corpus. He complains that it was error to receive in evidence at his state court trial admissions made by him, during the time he was incarcerated after arrest but before trial, to a newspaper reporter who was a friend of many years standing.

Affirmed.
