On Second Motions for Rehearing
Appellants, by their second motion for rehearing, assert that this Court erred in rendering its opinion and judgment of October 20, 1960 for the reason that Chief Justice Bell and Associate Justice Woodruff are disqualified to sit in this case. As stated in our opinion of September 15, 1960, Associate Justice Woodruff is disqualified, but Chief Justice Bell is not disqualified although he did not for personal reasons participate in the opinion handed down herein on July 7, 1960. The motion filed by appellees praying that Chief Justice Bell recuse himself as being disqualified is again refused. It was refused by this Court on April 30, 1959 when Chief Justice Bell, although not disqualified, on his own motion recused himself from participating in the case. After Associate Justice Woodruff’s disqualification came to the attention of, the Court, Chief Justice Bell decided to fully participate herein notwithstanding his former intention not to do so.
Appellants’ and Henry White’s second motions for rehearing are overruled.
WOODRUFF, J., not participating.
