389 U.S. 1025 (United States Reports)

Dissenting Opinion

The Chief Justice, with whom Mr. Justice Douglas joins,

dissenting.

This case is another further extension of Spencer v. Texas, 385 U. S. 554, in which the error is more egregious. For the reasons stated in my concurring opinion in Burgett v. Texas, ante, p. 116, 1 would grant the petition for writ of certiorari.

Opinion of the Court

C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari denied.
