Johnston v. State

ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

DICE, Commissioner.

Appellant, in his motion for rehearing, in addition to re-urging his original contentions, insists that his confession should not have been admitted in evidence because he was not represented by counsel during his interrogation by the officers and when he signed the confession.
