PER CURIAM.

This court en banc has considered the record in this appeal. We are of the opinion that the defendant was entitled to the affirmative charge as to the first count of the indictment, and, further, that the alleged confession of the defendant as to the crime charged in said first count was improperly admitted, there being no evidence to prove the corpus delicti of the offense therein charged.
