## Opinion text

CARTER, J.
I dissent.
In my opinion the evidence was insufficient to establish the corpus delicti, and the trial court committed prejudicial error in stating in the presence of the jury that the corpus delicti had been established.
I would, therefore, reverse the judgment and remand the case for a new trial.
Appellant’s petition for a rehearing was denied August 23, 1951. Carter, J., voted for a rehearing.
