The opinion

JUSTICE LU.ND, specially concurring:

Both of my esteemed companions on the panel of this case have now rejected the clear and convincing, or substantially corroborated, test. I express no criticism of the majority’s view on the clear and convincing issue. My examination of the evidence in this case.leads to the conclusion that substantial corroboration was present. The spontaneous declaration and the defendant’s statement to another of his intentions easily provided this evidence.
