TATE, Justice.

The defendant Ledet was convicted of murder, La.R.S. 14:30, and sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor. He relies upon fifteen perfected bills upon his appeal. Substantial contentions of error are presented, however, only by Bill No. 15 (concerning note-taking by a juror during the trial) and by Bill Nos. 13 and 14 (a reference by the prosecutor in his closing argument to the defendant's prior criminal record).
