on appelant’s motion for rehearing
DAVIDSON, Judge
Appellant presses upon us the correctness of the holding expressed in the Hill, Jamison, Riles, and Scott cases to the effect that Art. 1257a, Vernon’s P. C., lays down a rule of evidence only and should not be given in the charge to the jury. It is insisted that those cases should not be overruled, as was done in the original opinion.
We have again reviewed the question and remain convinced that a correct conclusion was reached originally.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the court.
