Opinion of the Court

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Appeal from the Supreme Court of Mississippi.

Per Curiam:

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 28 U. S. C. § 1257 (2). Treating the papers whereon the appeal was allowed as a petition for writ of certiorari as required by 28 U. S. C. § 2103 , certiorari is denied.

Mr. Justice Black and Mr. Justice Douglas are of the opinion certiorari should be granted. The Chief Justice took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
