CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge
(concurring) :
I now concur on rehearing with Judge Madden in this case contrary to the position I took in concurring with Judge Jertberg when we heard the case. 333 F.2d 210.
At that time, I thought we were bound by higher authority to hold in accordance with Judge Jertberg’s views. Now I have decided that this is a case not yet reached by the Supreme Court.
It seems to me that the freely given permission of Dolores Wright, one joint but casual occupant of the bathroom, for search of the medicine chest should not offend the constitutional protections given the other joint user of the bathroom, Richard Burge. Such protection is a little too much right of privacy. *415Further, the evidence was simply driving a ten penny nail into a well nailed and sealed coffin.
In reversing my position, there is no way I can make myself “look good.” But my commission says I was appointed during good behavior. It says nothing about being appointed to “look good.”
