On Rehearing.
Appellant challenges the following statement in original opinion as without support in the record: “On cross examination, however, Powell admitted to beginning to lose weight before such time (July 1947), and coughing pretty hard.” The finding in question has ample basis in the testimony of Powell as shown on pp. 66, 67, Statement of facts: “Q. Now, it is a fact, is it not, Mr. Powell, that for several months prior to that time you had been losing weight and coughing pretty hard ? A. For some time, yes,, sir. I don’t remember just how long it was. Q. Didn’t that condition exist for several months prior to July 18, 1947? A. About two or three months, I would say. Q. For about two or three months you had been losing considerable weight and coughing pretty hard? A. Yes, sir.”
In fairness to appellant, however, his further testimony on redirect examination should ’be quoted in full: “Q. I believe you say the Selective Service turned you down because you had a scar tissue? A. Yes, sir. Q. And that was, you think, in 1944? A. If I am not mistaken, it was *749in March, 1943. Q. Did they tell you you had tuberculosis? A. No, sir, they told me I definitely did not have tuberculosis.”
Otherwise, the motion for rehearing is in all things overruled.
