PER CURIAM.

The mandate of the United States Supreme Court in this case, 372 U.S. 522, 83 S. Ct. 887, vacated the judgment of this Court and further provided "that this cause be remanded to the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina for consideration in light of Edwards v.

Pursuant thereto, we have considered this cause in the light of Edwards v. South Carolina and adhere to and affirm the judgment of this Court 240 S.C. 366, 126 S.E. (2d) 6, for the reasons stated in our opinion in State v. Brown, 240 S.C. 357, 126 S.E. (2d) 1.
