On Rehearing
LAWSON, Justice.
This application for rehearing has been pending for a long time. It was filed by counsel who did not participate in the trial below or on the original submission here. We do not frown upon applications for rehearing for they are often helpful and we do not expect counsel to come apologetically in the discharge of this important function, but boldly and manfully we wish to see him stand up and labor with us when done in a considerate manner. But the brief filed in support of this application for rehearing is of such a nature that the author of the opinion has felt constrained to have the other participating Justices read it carefully in the light of the record before us. They have done so. As indicated in the original opinion the questions presented are not without difficulty but they were decided only after a careful and painstaking consideration of the record, the briefs filed on original submission and considerable effort at research on our part.
*551We feel that our holdings on original submission should stand.
Application for rehearing overruled.
LIVINGSTON, C. J., and SIMPSON, STAKELY, GOODWYN and MERRILL, JJ-, concur.
