April 13, 1936

In Banc.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Kemper County; J. I. Sturdivant, Judge.

" Not to be reported in State Reports."

Conforming to mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States in 56 S.Ct. 461, 80 L.Ed.__.

John A. Clark and D. P. Davis, both of De Kalb, and Brewer & Hewitt, of Jackson, for appellants.

Greek L. Rice, Atty. Gen., and W. D. Conn, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

PER CURIAM.

The judgment of the court below was affirmed by this court at a former term thereof, Brown v. State, 173 Miss. 542, 158 So. 339, 161 So. 465; but the judgment of affirmance was reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States, Brown et al. v. State of Mississippi, 56 S.Ct. 461, 80 L.Ed.__, the ground of the reversal being that the confessions of the appellant should have been excluded from the evidence.

In obedience to the mandate and opinion of that court, the judgment of the court below will be reversed, and the cause will be remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with that opinion.

Reversed and remanded.
