¶1The opinion of the court was delivered

Per Curiam.

¶2In November 1951 defendant entered a plea of non vult to an indictment for murder. He was sentenced to a term of 25 to 30 years.

¶3In January 1959 he sought a writ of habeas corpus which was denied after a hearing upon the factual claims advanced. Defendant appeals from the resulting order.

¶4Defendant asserts he did not enter the plea voluntarily and with an understanding of the nature of the charge, and *58that the trial court accepted the plea without adequate inquiry into the voluntariness of the plea or defendant’s understanding. The evidence strongly refutes the claim.

¶5The order is accordingly affirmed.

¶6For affirmance — Chief Justice Weintratjb, and Justices Jacobs, Francis, Proctor, Hall, Sohettino and HaneMAN — 7.

¶7For reversal — Hone.
