ON REHEARING
Respondent has made timely application for rehearing and attached his personal affidavit thereto for consideration by this Court. Admittedly this affidavit was not a part of the proceedings before him on June 15, 1973. He states that an affidavit was filed by one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in the civil action in which a mistrial was declared because of the absence of petitioner as a witness for the plaintiff which also was not a part of the trial proceedings and that a motion was filed in this Court to strike such affidavit on that ground. This is true. The affidavit of plaintiff’s attorney was filed on June 21, 1973, six days after petitioner was adjudged in contempt of court. The motion to strike this affidavit was filed in this Court on June 28, 1973. We did not act on the motion to strike, one way or another. Since that affidavit was not before respondent at the June 15, 1973, hearing, we simply chose to lay it aside and we gave absolutely no consideration to that affidavit in our decision in this case.
For the same reason we are forced to lay aside the affidavit of respondent attached to the application for rehearing.
We adhere to our original decision in this case and overrule the application for rehearing.
Opinion extended and application for rehearing overruled.
