OPINION

KEITH, Commissioner.

The appeal is from a conviction of murder where the jury fixed the punishment at confinement for life. A statement of the underlying fact structure is needed to place appellant’s complaints in focus.

On Sunday morning, February 3, 1974, Tommy Galbraith left home about 7:30 to serve National Guard duty, leaving his wife Vicky and infant daughter Tammy at home. He returned about 9:30 with several fellow guardsmen to get his motorcycle for use during the day. He went into his house, briefly noting that Vicky was wearing a blue bathrobe and yellow bikini panties.
