SLOAN, J.,
dissenting.
I think the questions counsel attempted to ask the prospective juror clearly put to the- court the question of counsel’s right to ask about religious affiliation. The refusal to permit the questions to be asked deprived defendant of information essential to a decision on a peremptory challenge. Wasy v. State, 1955, 234 Ind 52, 123 NE2d 462, 46 ALR2d 1389; People v. Rollins, 1919, 179 Cal 793, 179 P 209. The case should be reversed.
