*278Opinion by
Weight, J.,
Concurring in Affirmance :
As District Attorney, I secured a number of convictions by use of the tacit admission doctrine.1 This was more than a decade before the decision in Commonwealth v. Vallone, 347 Pa. 419, 32 A. 2d 889. The Superior Court is required to follow the V alione case. If. the tacit admission doctrine is to be repudiated, it must be accomplished by action of the Supreme Court.

 See Commonwealth v. Smith, 105 Pa. Superior Ct. 497, 161 A. 418; Ibid 111 Pa. Superior Ct. 363, 170 A. 331.
