MANDERINO, Justice,
dissenting.
The majority cites our recent decision in Commonwealth v. Hart, 471 Pa. 271, 370 A.2d 298 (1977) to support its opinion that even if admission of appellant’s confession were found to be error, it would be “harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt.” I dissent for the reasons stated in the *547dissents of Mr. Justice Roberts and Mr. Justice Nix and in my concurring opinion to that case. Hart, supra, 471 Pa. at 275-77, 370 A.2d at 300-01.
