The opinion

PETITION TO BeHEAE.

Burnett, Justice.

Maurine D. Hayslip has filed a petition to rehear in this case. The primary contention of the petition is that we erred in concluding that Mrs. Hayslip was the moving-party in bringing about the grand jury report fully referred to in our original opinion. It is true that the record does not contain a transcript of the evidence before the grand jury but the only conclusion that one can arrive at from reading this report and other parts of the record is that she was the movent in this cause. We cannot shut our eyes to what is so evident by the record and must certainly give verity to the report of the grand jury which certainly shows that this was true. We think that there was no error in our reaching this conclusion.

All authorities cited in the petition to rehear were very thoroughly considered by us before we determined the matter originally. There is no new authority brought to our attention and we must conclude that our original opinion is correct according to the views of the majority for the reasons cited in the original opinion.

The result is that the petition to rehear must be overruled.
