    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    June 1, 1995.
   PER CURIAM.

Application granted in part.

All other statements in the confession are inadmissible hearsay, whether in-culpatory of other persons or non-inculpatory (unless admissible on some other basis).

Otherwise, the application is denied.

WATSON, J., would deny the application.

VICTORY, J., not on panel.
