*536McCORD, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concurred in the original opinion, and I now concur in the opinion on rehearing. However, I express this further view: While it is true that the agent may not go on a fishing expedition and examine accounts and transactions in ■ the bank other than those pertinent to the investigation, I think that where accounts are commingled and transactions of other persons , appear on the same page or are mixed with those of the person or persons under investigation, view of such records should not be denied to the agent simply because other unrelated accounts and transactions may inescapably appear. Certainly, the agent may not look at and examine the separate, unrelated accounts and transactions of other persons not involved in the investigation at hand, but if the pertinent accounts and transactions and the accounts and transactions of other persons are in fact commingled and mixed, he should be able to examine the records for he, and not the bank, is charged with the duty and responsibility of making the investigation.
