BARHAM, J.,

¶2concurs in the denial of the applications of Singleton, Smith and Green. I am of the opinion that the application of Jordon should be granted. Dutton v. Evans, 400 U.S. 74, 91 S.Ct. 210, 27 L.Ed.2d 213 (1970) is inapposite. Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 88 S.Ct. 1620, 20 L.Ed.2d 476 is ■ controlling and mandates the granting of the writ.
