Opinion

66302.

DECIDED MARCH 30, 1984.

Arson. Whitfield Superior Court. Before Judge Temples.

E. Neil Wester III, for appellant.

Stephen A. Williams, District Attorney, Marcus R. Morris, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Our judgment in Mulkey v. State, 167 Ga. App. 627 ( 307 S.E.2d 117) has been affirmed as to the disposition by this court of the last three enumerations of error but reversed as to the disposition of the first enumeration as well as to the judgment of this court. State v. Mulkey, 252 Ga. 201 ( 312 S.E.2d 601). Accordingly, in conformity with the mandate and opinion of the Supreme Court and for the reasons stated therein, we hold the trial court's action in admitting the oral testimony of a scientific test conducted in a related field of science but before the crime of arson in this case was committed was not error. There being no error of substance in this case, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed. McMurray, C. J., and Shulman, P. J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 30, 1984.
