On Rehearing
We consider that Act No. 77, approved September 30, 1965, p. 102 is not by the terms of its first clause pertinent so as to justify admission of Exhibit “40.” Accordingly, we do not decide whether the words therein of “any suit or proceeding” embrace criminal trials. Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 85 S.Ct. 1065, 13 L.Ed.2d 923 and Douglas v. Ala., 380 U.S. 415, 85 S.Ct. 1074, 13 L.Ed.2d 934 might indeed narrow the scope of the broad language found in Todd v. State, 13 Ala.App. 301, 69 So. 325.
Nevertheless, we adhere to the view that Supreme Court Rule 45 averts error.
Application overruled.
