Concurring Opinion by
Mr. Justice Roberts:
While I join in Mr. Justice Musmanno’s sentiments regarding tacit admissions, I concur in the granting of a new trial in this case for the reasons stated in Commonwealth ex rel. Shadd v. Myers, 423 Pa. 82, 91, 223 A. 2d 296, 301 (1966) (dissenting opinion). See Commonwealth v. Vallone, 347 Pa. 419, 424, 32 A. 2d 889, 892 (1943) (dissenting opinion); Commonwealth ex rel. Staino v. Cavell, 207 Pa. Superior Ct. 274, 278, 217 A. 2d 824, 825 (1966) (dissenting *596opinion); see also, Note, Tacit Criminal Admissions, 112 TL Pa. L. Eev. 210 (1963). Accordingly, I find it immaterial whether Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602 (1966) or Malloy v. Hogan, 378 U.S. 1, 84 S. Ct. 1489 (1964) compels the result reached in this case.
