PER CURIAM.

¶1The appellant has appealed from an order denying his motion to vacate his judgment and sentence [murder in the first degree] under Criminal Procedure Rule No. One, F.S.A. ch. 924 Appendix. The appellee’s motion to quash is before us for determination.

¶2It is admitted that in order for appellant to prevail, it would he necessary to apply the rule of Escobedo v. State of Illinois, 1964, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S.Ct. 1758, 12 L.Ed. 2d 977, retroactively.
