Snell, J.
(dissenting in part) — -I agree that this ease should be reversed and remanded for the reasons discussed in Division II of the opinion.
I dissent from the conclusions reached in Division I.
I do not agree that reference to an agreement to take a lie-detector test followed by sudden departure before the appointed time was reversible error. We are not determining the admissibility of results of a test or of a refusal to take a test. Here there was an agreement by defendant to take a test at a specified time at his home. The time was nine o’clock the next morning. When the time arrived it was discovered that defendant with his wife and five children had departed for parts unknown. I see no error in reference to an agreement breached by flight.
Garfield, 0. J., and Thompson and Moore, JJ., join in this dissent.
