The opinion

LEMMON, Circuit Judge

(dissenting).

For the reasons stated by me in the original majority opinion, I dissent from the present opinion on rehearing.

I do not believe that the distinction between a conspiracy to commit a crime, on the one hand, and a unilateral offer of an opportunity to another to commit that crime, oh the other hand, “affronts reason”.

The law is full of salutary distinctions that the courts are required to observe. I believe that the distinction in question is one of them.

The. judgment should be affirmed as to the appellant Doyle.
