GAMMAGE, Justice,
dissenting.
For the reasons stated in Justice High-tower’s original dissent in this cause, I dissent to the failure to permit intervenors a motion for rehearing. Op. 749. Mandamus relief was not proper in this cause because relators consciously failed to exercise their legal remedy of intervention and appeal. The newly produced information that relators had attorneys in and out of the courtroom monitoring the case merely confirms what has already been observed— relators had ample opportunity to avail themselves of their legal remedy of intervention and appeal but, instead, sat on their rights and consciously chose to avoid intervening.
HIGHTOWER, J., joins in this dissent.
