The opinion

Hurt, J.,

dissents upon the ground that the act giving the defendant the right to testify in his own case does not repeal the law excluding defendant’s confession, and that the confession can not be used for any purpose. The authorities cited are not applicable, because in those States there are no statutes similar to article 750 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Texas, or if they had such statutes the question was not raised in the cases cited.
