““It is next contended by appellant that he was deprived of the right to obtain counsel. In this regard appellant refers us to testimony given by one of the arresting officers, Wayne Bornhoft, of the Pasadena Police Department, as follows: “ ‘Q. By Mr. Boyden: Did the Defendant Boyden ever ask you for permission to call an attorney? A. Yes, he did. “ ‘Q. Did you give him permission to call an attorney? A. No, sir. “‘Q. When was that? A. That was after my conversation with Defendant Boyden. “‘Q. February 29th? A. Yes, sir.’ “Also, the testimony of Officer Ar-nett of the Huntington Park Police Department who was acting as jailer while appellant was confined there: “ ‘Q.
