The opinion

ON REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

The confession of the robbery charged in the indictment admitted identity and the *387 commission of the robbery so charged. Collateral confessions of other robberies were unnecessary to establish the robbery which defendant had already admitted. Such collateral evidence invited the jury to fix harsher punishment for the offense on trial by reason of the multiple crimes in evidence. Defendant did not take the stand.

Opinion extended; application overruled.

CATES, P. J., and TYSON and BOOK-OUT, JJ., concur.

HARRIS and DeCARLO, JJ., dissent.
