De Haven, J., concurring.

¶1I concur in the .judgment. The second subdivision of section 1033 of the Penal Code is clearly unconstitutional. There was also error in the giving of the instruction referred to in the opinion of Mr. Justice Works. Upon the other points therein discussed, I express no opinion.
