ON STATE’S second motion for rehearing
DAVIDSON, Judge.
In our original opinion as well as in the opinion overruling the state’s motion for rehearing, we did not intend to hold that proof of the fact that Doris Sayles was a notary public could be proven only by the record of her appointment and qualification.
We recognize, in the instant case, that proof of the fact that Doris Sayles was a notary public could have been made by her testimony, and when corroborated by other evidence it would have been sufficient to so show.
The majority of this court remain convinced that this record does not authorize the conclusion that the testimony of the witness Doris Sayles that she was a notary public was corroborated by other testimony, as the law requires.
Judge WOODLEY remains convinced that the evidence is sufficient to establish that Doris Sayles was a notary public.
The state’s second motion for rehearing is overruled.
