## Opinion text

When the writ was granted, I was of the opinion that the Court of Criminal Appeals probably had incorrectly relied upon this Court's decision in Lee v. State , 246 Ala. 69 , 18 So.2d 706 (1944), in reversing this defendant's conviction. Arguably, the Lee case is distinguishable upon its facts, but, after further study, I am of the opinion that it is not so distinguishable that the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals reversing the conviction on that ground is due to be reversed.
Consequently, I would quash the writ as having been improvidently granted.
TORBERT, C.J. and STEAGALL, J., concur. *Page 976
