Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1895 (Wheat v. State)

McCLELLAN, J.

The only question in this case is whether a sufficient predicate was laid in the circuit court for the admission of the testimony of one Scott given on a former trial before the county court in behalf of the State, on the ground that he was dead or permanently or indefinitely out of the State at the time of the trial in the circuit court.
