CRAVEN, Circuit Judge
(concurring) :
I readily concur but dissociate myself from any implication in the court’s opinion of renewed approval of the rule of United States v. Inman, 352 F.2d 954 (4th Cir. 1965). I have never been persuaded that it is sensible to require the voluntariness of proffered statements to be determined first by a judge and then by a jury. See Lego v. Twomey, 404 U.S 477, 92 S.Ct. 619, 30 L.Ed.2d 618.
