## Opinion text

COLEMAN, Justice
(di.ssenting).
' I do not think that a proper predicate was laid for the admission, on the second trial, of the testimony given by Furman Jones on the former trial, and, therefore, am of opinion that the court erred in allowing his tes-' timony to be admitted on the instant trial. As I understand the opinion of the majori-' ty, they hold that Jones’ former testimony-laid its own proper predicate. I, therefore, respectfully dissent.
