Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

Appellee was convicted of the crime of robbery in a New Jersey court. He made application for a writ of habeas corpus to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. He sought a new trial because the testimony in regard to the voluntariness of his incriminating statement was heard and determined by the trial judge in the presence of the jury. The District Court granted the writ and allowed the petitioner a new trial on the merits. That decision was plaihly right.

The judgment of the District Court will be affirmed on the sound opinion of Judge Wortendyke which was filed September 29, 1966, 259 F.Supp. 729.
