Tennessee Supreme Court December 15, 1874 (Stokes v. State)

McFarland, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This case comes up upon an appeal from the judgment, upon a conviction for murder in the second degree.

The prisoner offered as a witness the wife of Dick Rolan. She was objected to, and held to be incompetent by the Court, upon the ground that Dick Rolan was jointly indicted with the prisoner, for the murder.
