ARGUED APRIL 10, 1972.

Burglary. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Tanksley.

Louise T. Hornsby, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Richard E. Hicks, Joel M. Feldman, James H. Mobley, Jr., for appellee.

HALL, Presiding Judge.

Defendant appeals from his conviction for burglary and the denial of his motion for a new trial.

1. The evidence supports the verdict.

2. Defendant's confession was properly admitted into evidence. The court held a hearing to determine voluntariness in accordance with Jackson v. Denno, 378 U.S. 368 ( 84 SC 1774, 12 L.Ed.2d 908, 1 ALR3d 1205). While conflicting, there was sufficient evidence to support the court's finding. Brawner v. Smith, 225 Ga. 296 ( 167 S.E.2d 753); Furman v. State, 225 Ga. 253 ( 167 S.E.2d 628).

Judgment affirmed. Pannell and Quillian, JJ., concur.

ARGUED APRIL 10, 1972 — DECIDED APRIL 14, 1972.
