GRIM, District Judge.
In this habeas corpus petition, relator questions the validity of his sentence to life imprisonment imposed under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Penal Code relating to convictions of a second offense of murder of the second degree. Act of June 24, 1939, P.L. 872, § 701, as amended, 18 P.S. § 4701.1 Relator contends that his constitutional rights have been infringed because he allegedly did not receive adequate notice that he was subject to sentence as a second offender and because he allegedly did not receive a “trial” on the second offender charge.
