## Opinion text

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge
(dissenting).—I dissent from the views of the majority in regard to the constitutional provision, which re
*12
quires that the -accused shall be confronted with the witnesses against him. My views have been to a very large extent expressed in Cline’s case, 36 Texas Crim. Rep., 320 , to which I refer for some of the reasons for my dissent in this case. If time affords, I may file reasons in this case for my dissent, other than those set out in Cline’s case.
