Concurring Opinion

O’Neill, J.,

concurring in the judgment. I concur in the judgment hut not on authority of State v. McLeod, 1 Ohio St. 2d 60, in which case I dissented.

The facts in this case differ materially from those in Escobedo v. Illinois (1964), 12 L. Ed. 2d 977, Massiah v. United States (1964), 12 L. Ed. 2d 246, and State v. McLeod, supra.

I would distinguish this case from those cited above, and I concur in upholding the conviction.
