The judgment of the Supreme Court of Georgia affirming the denial of habeas corpus is vacated and the case is remanded to that court for further consideration after petitioner has been afforded adequate access to a copy of the transcript of the trial court hearing on his petition for habeas corpus. Lane v. Brown, 372 U. S. 477 (1963); Long v. District Court, 385 U. S. 192 (1966); cf. Wade v. Wilson, 396 U. S. 282 (1970).
