U. W. Clemon, Birmingham, and Elaine R. Jones and Jack Greenberg, New York City, for petitioner.

MADDOX, Justice (dissenting).

I would grant the writ merely to review the question concerning the comment made by the District Attorney in closing argument: "No one took the stand to deny it." My vote to grant the writ does not necessarily mean that I think the Court of Criminal Appeals erred, however.
