¶1(concurring). I concur in the reversal. Not only was the evidence as to the gymnasium incident inadmissible, as the Majority holds; but I am of the opinion that the evidence as to the other incident (as referred to in the final paragraph of the Majority Opinion) was also inadmissible. That incident occurred more than five years before the offense for which the appellant was here being tried; and I think testimony of an incident more than five years away is too remote, and is inadmissible.
