Text: A. Score, which is the term for purchasing narcotics, that to give him a phone call and I replied I did, I will. We find that the trial court correctly overruled defense counsel's objection. It held that Lieutenant Vidrine had a continuing conversation, one transaction that occurred all at once during the period of the res gestae. LSA-R.S. 15:447 provides: Res gestae are events speaking for themselves under the immediate pressure of the occurrence, through the instructive, impulsive and spontaneous words and acts of the participants, and not the words of the participants when narrating the events. What forms any part of the res gestae is always admissible in evidence. LSA-R.S. 15:448 further provides: To constitute res gestae the circumstances and declarations must be necessary incidents of the criminal act, or immediate concomitants of it, or form in conjunction with it one continuous transaction. See, State v. Dale, 200 La. 19, 7 So.2d 371; State v. Walker, 204 La. 523, 15 So.2d 874; State v. Reese, 250 La. 151, 194 So.2d 729. Bill of Exceptions No. 3 is without merit.
