NEELY, Chief Justice:

The appellant, Robert Nicholson, was convicted of welfare fraud under

W.Va. Code

9-5-4 [1972], He maintains that he did not waive his right to counsel and therefore a statement he gave to a Department of Human Services employee and a West Virginia state trooper should not have been admitted at his trial.
