## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Justice Musmanno:
I dissent from the Majority Opinion in this case for the reasons set forth in my Dissenting Opinion in the case of Commonwealth ex rel. Brown v. Baldi, 378 Pa. 504 . I believe further that the relator should have been allowed to submit the additional testimony he indicated was available to show that the reputed changes, for the better, in the Georgia Chain Gang system have not actually taken place.
