Abstract: This paper gives a new proof of a result of Geoghegan and Mihalik which states that whenever a contractible open $n$-manifold $W$ which is not homeomorphic to $mathbf{R}^n$ is a covering space of an $n$-manifold $M$ and either $ngeq4$ or $n=3$ and $W$ is irreducible, then the group of covering translations injects into the homeotopy group of $W$.
