section shall prohibit the use of such evidence in Wicomico County,

article. Nothing in this section shall be construed to repeal in part
or in whole, or to effect in any manner any provision elsewhere in
this Code specifically exempting any type of case or set of facts

5A] Section 5 hereinabove.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1959.
