RAWLINGS, Justice
(dissenting).
In my opinion the facts set forth in Justice Stuart’s dissent lead unalterably to the conclusion he reaches.
The statements made to defendant on the trip from Davenport to Des Moines were *409nothing less than a species of subtle but effective persuasion.
Whether these statements by Officer Learning be classified as declaratory or interrogatory in form, they were designed to elicit a statement or confession by defendant.
The inculpatory statements made by defendant as a result thereof should have been excluded.
In support hereof see Blackburn v. Alabama, 361 U.S. 199, 80 S.Ct. 274, 4 L.Ed.2d 242, and cases cited.
MASON AND BECKER, JJ., join in this dissent.
