1. ““Ordinarily where a witness violates a court order separating witnesses without the knowledge of the party or his counsel, the witness should be permitted to testify and it is only where the evidence shows that the party who desires to call the witness knew and participated in the violation of the separation order that the court should exclude the witness’ testimony. State v. Carney, 216 Kan. 704 , 533 P.2d 1268 (1975). “. . . Violation of a court order separating witnesses does not ordinarily disqualify a witness from testifying and the trial court, in its discretion, may admit the testimony. State v.
