UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON-LINE

The holding in Barber v. Page, 390 U. S. 719, that the absence of a witness from the jurisdiction would not justify the use at trial of preliminary hearing testimony unless the State had made a good faith effort to secure the witness' presence, should be given retroactive application.

Certiorari granted; 25 Cal.App.2d 622, 66 Cal.Rptr. 213, vacated and remanded.
