## Opinion text

COLEMAN, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in reversal on the ground that evidence obtained by illegal search was erroneously admitted. I agree that the photographs and the evidence showing the confessions were admitted without error. As to other matters discussed I express no opinion.
SIMPSON, J., concurs in the foregoing.
