MOISE, Justice.
The defendants were convicted of murder and sentenced to be electrocuted. An appeal is taken by them from the judgment of conviction and the sentence of death.
The defendants were jointly charged in the indictment. They were unable to afford counsel, and the Judge appointed an attorney with over five years’ experience to represent both defendants. Three attorneys with less than five years’ experience were appointed by the State to assist senior counsel. Thereupon, after consultation with counsel, defendants filed motions for separate counsel.
