Grice, Chief Justice,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion. The evidence of another crime was not admissible for the purpose of identification, since the perpetrator of the alleged offense was known. It is my view that the similarities of the incidents did not relate to anything unusual about the crimes which would make the evidence of the separate crime admissible to show intent, motive, plan, scheme, and bent of mind of the appellant.

¶3I am authorized to state that Justices Gunter and Jordan join in this dissent.
