The opinion
*311 HAMITER, Justice
(dissenting).
The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, reciting that no person “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself” and on which the majority apparently rely, affords no protection to this defendant for the reason that it is without effect as to criminal proceedings in a state court such as the one with which we are presented concerned. Twining v. State of New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78 , 29 S.Ct. 14 , 53 L.Ed. 97 ; Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319 , 58 S.Ct. 149 , 82 L.Ed. 288 ; Adamson v. California, 332 U.S. 46 , 67 S.Ct. 1672 , 91 L.Ed. 1903 ; State v. Kraft, 214 La. 351 , 37 So.2d 815 ; State v. Rodrigues, 219 La. 217 , 52 So.2d 756 .
I respectfully dissent.
