The opinion
BAIRD, J.,
concurs. Regardmg points of error three, four and five, I join the concurring opimon of Judge Maloney. As to point of error eight, I believe the trial judge erred in admitting the hearsay statements. However, I believe the error was cured because the declarant, Featherstone, testified at trial and during Ms testimony he recounted Ms conversation to Detective Hukill. I join the remamder of the majority opimon.
