## Opinion text

I dissent. I am unable to reconcile the holdings in this case with the rule laid down in Walton v. Coffman , 110 Utah 1 , 169 P.2d 97 , and since the court is unwilling to modify the rule of the Walton case, I think it should be applied here. Under that rule, I think this record impels the conclusion that the child should be left with the respondent, Joseph George Nielson, Jr.
