§250—PER CURIAM
BOSTIC v. UNITED STATES
It now appears that these statements in the opinion of
the Court of Appeals and iu the memorandum of the
United States were erroncous, and that the facts are not
as we belicved them to be at the time we granted the
writ. The record shows that the petitioner was neither”
charged with nor convicted of the offense of conspiracy
to commit murder. The conspiracy count on which the
petitioner was convicted did not include any charge of
conspiracy to murder. Indeed, in his closing argument
to the jury the prosecutor stated that the y,-titioner had
left the conspiracy prior to the murder, when he was
’ returned to the penitentiary.
Inasmuch as our grant of the writ of certiorari in this
ease was predicated on the mistaken representation that
the petitioner had been convicted of the offense of con-
spiracy to commit murder, we now dismiss the writ as
improvidently granted.
Tt is so ordered..
