PER CURIAM.

The original opinion in this cause is withdrawn and this one is substituted therefor ‍​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍on rehearing.

Petitioner Howard was convicted of murder in the first degree and we affirmed, Howard v. State, 273 Ala. 544, 142 So.2d 685. He then filed an application for leave to ‍​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍file a petition for a writ of error coram nobis in the Circuit Court of Butler County.

Originally, we denied Howard’s application for leave to file petition for writ of error ‍​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍coram nobis. However, the State, not Howard, filed the application for rehearing in this cause and now appears to take the position that the petition should be granted. Since ‍​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍both parties to this controversy now apparently request that the petition be granted, we accede to the requests.

Petition for leave to file petition for writ of error coram nobis ‍​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍in the Circuit Court of Butler County granted.

Rehearing granted and petition granted.

All the Justices concur.
