1Opinion of the Court
GODBOLD, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Hills was convicted in Louisiana state court of aggravated rape. In a 4-3 decision the Louisiana Supreme Court affirmed on direct appeal. State v. Hills, 259 La. 436, 250 So.2d 394 (1971). State collateral remedies were exhausted. 1 Hills then filed a federal habeas corpus petition raising the question of whether due process was violated at his trial when the court allowed the prosecution to introduce evidence concerning related crimes he had allegedly-committed. The District Court denied the writ without a hearing. We affirm.
