Dissenting Opinion

MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

I would grant the writ merely to review the question concerning the comment made by the District Attorney in closing argument : “No one took the stand to deny it.” My vote to grant the writ does not necessarily mean that I think the Court of Criminal Appeals erred, however.

McCALL, Justice;

Writ denied.

MERRILL, COLEMAN, HARWOOD, BLOODWORTH and FAULKNER, JJ., concur. *753HEFLIN, C. J., and MADDOX and JONES, JJ., dissent.
