## Opinion text

SIMPSON, Justice
(concurring specially)-
I concur in the opinion to reverse for the introduction of the bloodhound testimony on authority of the Richardson case, supra, reported in 145 Ala. 46 , 41 So. 82 . I entertain grave doubt of the soundness of that case, but in view of the fact that it has been long standing without any challenge as to its legal soundness, I am unwilling to undertake to persuade the court to overrule it in such a case (death) as this case.
GOODWYN and MERRILL, JJ., dissent as shown by the following:
