When the writ was granted, I was of the opinion that the Court of Criminal Appeals probably had incorrectly relied upon this Court's decision in Lee v. State, 246 Ala. 69,18 So.2d 706 (1944), in reversing this defendant's conviction. Arguably, the Lee case is distinguishable upon its facts, but, after further study, I am of the opinion that it is not so distinguishable that the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals reversing the conviction on that ground is due to be reversed.
Consequently, I would quash the writ as having been improvidently granted.
TORBERT, C.J. and STEAGALL, J., concur. *Page 976
