Gunter, Justice,
dissenting. Being of the opinion that the charge given in this case on alibi was a burden-shifting *457charge, and therefore constitutionally impermissible as violative of due process, I respectfully dissent. See Johnson v. Bennett, 393 U. S. 253 (89 SC 436, 21 LE2d 415) (1968); Bennett v. Stump, 393 U. S. 1001 (89 SC 483, 21 LE2d 466) (1968); and my dissenting opinion in Trimble v. State, 229 Ga. 399.
I am authorized to state that Justices Hawes and Jordan join me in this dissent.
