OPINION

WOODLEY, Presiding Judge.

Tried upon an indictment alleging murder with malice aforethought of Mary Brisco, on or about August 9, 1967, the jury on March 26, 1968, found appellant guilty of murder without malice; assessed his punishment at 5 years and rejected his application for probation.

The sole ground of error set forth in appellant’s brief is:

“The trial court erred in admitting into evidence the written statement and certain oral statements of the defendant because the state wholly failed to demonstrate an intelligent waiver by the defendant of his constitutional rights.”
