Granted. Hearing ordered on motion to suppress or show cause to the contrary.

SANDERS, ‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‍C. J. & SUMMERS, J., dissent from the granting of a writ. Article 703, LSA-C.Cr.P., does not authorize a motion to suppress an oral inculpatory ‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‍statement. The defendants are fully protected by the requirement that an evidentiary foundation be laid for the introduction of the ‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‍oral statement before the judge and outside the presence of the jury. Hence, I would not interrupt the trial, now ‍‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‍in progress, for a hearing on the motion to suppress.
