ON APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR REHEARING
McDonald, judge.
When it is shown that an accused has been tried by a jury who did not enter the jury box with open minds, we do not hesitate to reverse. Williams v. State, 162 Tex.Cr.R. 202, 283 S.W.2d 239.
The Supreme Court of the United States applied this same test in its holdings in Irvin v. Dowd, 366 U.S. 717, 81 S.Ct. 1639, 6 L.Ed.2d 751, and in Beck v. Washington, 369 U.S. 541, 82 S.Ct. 955, 8 L.Ed.2d 98.
*950The record before us, however, does not reveal that appellant was tried by a jury who did not enter the jury box with open minds.
Remaining convinced that this case was correctly disposed of in our original opinion and in the opinion on appellant’s first motion for rehearing, appellant’s second motion for rehearing is overruled.
