PER CURIAM.

In 1938 a jury found Arthur Rookard guilty of robbery. Thereupon he pleaded guilty to three other similar charges and received consecutive sentences aggregating eight to twelve years. In July, 1942, he petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus alleging he had been inadequately represented by counsel. The writ was issued, counsel was appointed, and a hearing was had, after which the District Court found he was properly detained and discharged the writ.
