## Opinion text

BEAUCHAMP, Judge
(dissenting).
I am unable to concur in this opinion. The officer taking the statement relied on as a confession admits it was not freely and voluntarily made: That they just sweet-talked him out of it. I think such is contrary to the dissenting opinion in Ward v. State, 144 Tex. Crim. Rep. 444, 158 S. W (2d) 516 , which was in effect upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in Ward v. Texas, 62 S. C. R. 1139.
