Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400 , 85 S.Ct. 1065 , 13 L.Ed.2d 923 and Douglas v. Ala., 380 U.S. 415 , 85 S.Ct. 1074 , 13 L.Ed.2d 934 might indeed narrow the scope of the broad language found in Todd v. State, 13 Ala.App. 301 , 69 So. 325 . “Nevertheless, we adhere to the view that Supreme Court Rule 45 averts error. “Application overruled.””
