“Lastly, appelant contends the judge was disqualified since he was the prosecutor in appelant’s prior 1962 conviction for unlawfuly breaking and entering a motor vehicle, which conviction was introduced as part of appelant’s “prior criminal record” at the penalty stage of the trial....

State ... has been decided contrary to appelant’s contention, overruling or qualifying al of the authorities relied upon.”
