1. ““We do not think that permitting the coroner to testify as to his findings upon the physical examination' made of the accused or the admission in evidence of pictures of the accused denied him due process of law simply because the examination was made and the pictures were taken while he was in custody of the police and without counsel. We know of no provision of the law which requires the consent of the person arrested and charged with a crime for these things to be done. Neither the testimony of the-coroner nor the admission in evidence of the pictures violated defendant’s constitutional privilege against compulsory self-incrimination. * * * ” State v. Hughes, 244 La. 774 , 154 So.2d 395 .”
