1Opinion of the Court

ARCHIBALD, Justice.

The Waldo County Grand Jury returned two indictments against Charles Heald for the 1973 felonious homicides punishable as murder (17 M.R.S.A. § 2651, since repealed and now replaced by 17-A M.R.S.A. §§ 201, 202) of Joaquin and Florence Bettencourt. Heald moved for a change of venue, which was granted, and the cases were transferred to Penobscot County where, after jury trial and convictions for both murders, judgments were appropriately entered. These appeals seasonably ensued.

We deny the appeals.
