Sup. Ct. S. C. Certiorari denied. Reported below: No. 79-5552, 372 So. 2d 385 ; No. 79-5632, 273 S. C. 194 , 255 S. E. 2d 799 .

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153 , 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.
