PER CURIAM.

¶1We have examined and considered the record in this case in the light of briefs filed and have also, pursuant to subparagraph 2 of Section 924.32, Florida Statutes 1951, F.S.A., reviewed the evidence to determine if the interests of justice require a new trial, with the result that we find no reversible error is made to appear and the evidence does not reveal that the ends of justice require a new trial to be awarded.

¶2Affirmed.

DREW, Justice

¶3(dissenting).

¶4I do not believe the record here supports a conviction and sentence of murder in the first degree. The cause should be remanded for a sentence for murder in the second degree as provided by Sec. 924.34, F.S.A.
