Concurring Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Bell:
I consider “Tropic of Cancer” a lewd, obscene book, which should be banned. However, I reluctantly concur in the result reached by a majority of this Court. My decision is mandated by the United States Supreme Court decisions in Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184, 84 S. Ct. 1676, and Grove Press, Inc. v. Gerstein, 378 U.S. 577, 84 S. Ct. 1909.
Mr. Justice Jones and Mr. Justice O’Brien join in this Concurring Opinion.
