PER CURIAM.

It appearing that at the time the petitioner plead guilty and was sentenced in January 1962 for an offense committed in March 1961, he had been adjudged incompetent in April 1960, and the record containing no evidence to overcome the presumption that petitioner's insanity continued at the time of commission of the alleged crime and the imposition of sentence.

Culver, Fla., 111 So.2d 670.
