No. 221, Misc.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: January 13, 1969

The holding in Barber v. Page, 390 U.S. 719, that the absence of a witness from the jurisdiction would not justify the use at trial of preliminary hearing testimony unless the State had made a good-faith effort to secure the witness' presence, should be given retroactive application.

Thomas C. Lynch, Attorney General of California, William E. James, Assistant Attorney General, and Marvin A. Bauer, Deputy Attorney General, for respondent.
