VALLEE, J.
I concur in everything said by Mr. Justice Wood. To me, the record in this case reveals a shocking series of violations of constitutional rights. I am in entire agreement with the views expressed by Mr. Justice Carter in his dissent in People v. Gonzales, 20 Cal.2d 165, 174 [124 P.2d 44]. However, as a member of an intermediate reviewing court, I am bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court which, unfortunately, have been looked upon by law enforcement officers as an encouragement, if not an invitation, to the commission of such lawless acts. For that reason only, I concur in the judgment.
A petition for a rehearing was denied December 22, 1951, and appellant’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied January 11, 1951. Carter, J., and Sehauer, J., voted for' a hearing and then rendered the following opinion.
