## Opinion text

Thomas, J.
(dissenting). — I agree whole-heartedly with the observations of the learned Chief Justice on the importance of fair trials by impartial judges but I feel that the relator has completely failed to comply with the rules which the Legislature has prescribed to disqualify judges on the ground of prejudice; therefore, I dissent.
