## Opinion text

On Rehearing
COLEMAN, Justice.
In support of our holding that evidence of the sale price of the McCoy property was improperly admitted because the McCoy and Popwell properties had not been shown to be similar, see: State v. Donaldson, 209 Ala. 400 , 96 So. 617 ; Leahy v. State, 214 Ala. 107 , 106 So. 599 . Further extension of this opinion would serve little purpose.
We are of the view that we should adhere to our original holding.
Opinion extended.
Application overruled.
LIVINGSTON, C. J., and SIMPSON and GOODWYN, JJ., concur.
