HUTCHESON, Circuit Judge
(dissenting)-
While there are expressions in the opinion in the Lang case, which taken out of their context, lend support to the view the majority announces, that the Newman case has been impliedly overruled, the opinion read as a whole, does not in my opinion, support that view.
Though the Newman case was cited in the briefs in the Lang case it was not referred to in the opinion, which shows I think, that the Supreme Court correctly concluded that the two cases were different, the Lang case resting on the law of Washington, the Newman case on that of Louisiana.
Believing that the Newman case has not been overruled, and that it is a correct statement of the law, on its authority, I respectfully dissent.
