## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Moore
dissenting on Petition for Rehearing.
For reasons discussed in Rochin v. California, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on January 2, 1952, it is my opinion that the admission of evidence relating to a chemical analysis for alcohol content in a sample of blood withdrawn from the veins of defendant was reversible error.
Accordingly I respectfully dissent.
