See Barrington v. State, 291 S.W. 557, for a statement of the case.
Saunders Bounds of Breckenridge, for appellant.
Sam D. Stinson, State's Attorney, and Robert M. Lyles, Assistant State's Attorney, for the State.

The records in both cases are exactly the same. The questions relied upon for a reversal in the instant case were disposed of adversely to appellant's contention in the opinion in the Barrington case referred to above.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
