*396FINCH, Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the principal opinion with the understanding that the citation of State v. Brookshire, Mo., 368 S.W.2d 373, and State v. Creighton, 330 Mo. 1176, 52 S.W.2d 556, is for the purpose of showing that in order to require an instruction on manslaughter there must be proof of the absence of deliberation and malice, and that the cases are not cited for the purpose of indicating that there must be a battery. See State v. Williams, Mo., decided June 25, 1969, 442 S.W.2d 61.
