ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
MORRISON, Judge.
Appellant takes issue with that portion of our original opinion in which we stated that appellant was not arrested until after the pistol was discovered. Regardless of when the arrest occurred, the statements made by appellant were made at the scene, were a part of the transaction and were admissible as part of the res gestae. In Clifton v. State, 156 Texas Cr. Rep. 655, 246 S.W. 2d 201, we pointed out that the res gestae rule was superior to and could not be limited by the rules relating to admissions after arrest.
Remaining convinced that we properly disposed of this cause originally, appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
