MORRISON, Judge

¶1(dissenting).

¶2In view of the lateness of the hour, I will not be able to state fully my reason for dissenting in this case. As I see it, for all this record reveals, this appellant may have been a hitchhiker who caught a ride with Gentry. Such evidence should not be held sufficient to support a conviction for crime.

¶3I respectfully enter my dissent.
