Elliott W. Major, Atty. Gen., and Chas. G. Revelle, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

BURGESS, J.

In an opinion in the St. Louis Court of Appeals the judgment of the circuit court in this case was affirmed, and upon motion by the defendant for a rehearing the motion was overruled, and the cause certified to the Supreme Court for final disposition, upon the ground that the decision of the St. Louis Court of Appeals was in conflict with the opinion of the Kansas City Court of Appeals in State of Missouri v. Patrick & Boyd, 65 Mo. App. 653, in which there was a divided court. We have carefully read both opinions, and approve and adopt the opinion of the St. Louis Court of Appeals as being in harmony with our view as to the law of the case, and as the opinion of this court it reads as follows: [See 129 Mo. App. 371, 108 S. W. 615.] The case of State v. Patrick & Boyd, supra, is overruled. All concur.
