Ed. F. McFaddin, Justice (Dissenting). The majority is granting a rehearing in this case, setting aside the former opinion and changing the result. From this, I respectfully dissent. This case was originally submitted on November 10, 1947. The entire transcript was read; and an opinion was delivered on December 8, 1947, which reversed and remanded the cause with directions. No dissents appeared as noted to that opinion. On January 12, 1948, the case was submitted on rehearing; and now — four months after the rehearing was submitted — the majority has granted the rehearing, and affirmed the trial court, because the majority says that it is unable to determine wherein the trial court was in error. The opinion of December 8, 1947, (which was then the majority opinion) pointed out the error of the trial court. This former majority opinion has now become the minority opinion. I still adhere to the views stated in the opinion of December 8, 1947; and I am authorized to state that Mr. Justice Frank Gr. Smith joins me in this dissent.
