OPINION OF THE COURT

ROBERTS, Justice.

On December 7, 1973, appellant James Preston Kichline was convicted after a jury trial of murder in the *271first degree. The trial court denied post-verdict motions and imposed judgment of sentence of life imprisonment. On this direct appeal,1 appellant contends that he is entitled to a new trial because of numerous pretrial and trial errors. Finding none of his arguments persuasive, we affirm the judgment of sentence.
