374 F.2d 618 (1967)

James Zell TUGGLE, Appellant, v. Dr. George J. BETO, Director, Texas Department of Corrections, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

March 23, 1967.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Zell Tuggle, pro se.

Lonny F. Zwiener, Asst. Atty. Gen. of Texas, Crawford C. Martin, Atty Gen. of Texas, George M. Cowden, First Asst. Atty. Gen., A. J. Carubbi, Jr., Staff Legal Asst., R. L. (Bob) Lattimore, Robert E. Owen, Asst. Attys. Gen., Austin, Tex., for appellee.

Before BROWN, MOORE, and BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

The Appellant's petition for writ of habeas corpus asserted two grounds. The first was involuntariness of a confession because Tuggle was required by police officers to give a statement before being allowed to contact counsel or friends. The second was the involuntariness of his subsequent plea of guilty entered by him upon his retained counsel's advice out of apprehension that he might get the death penalty.
