Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas December 12, 1900, No. 2325. (Spriggins v. State)

BROOKS, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of murder in the second degree, and his punishment assessed at fifteen years confinement in the penitentiary. The State introduced Bennett, the assistant jailer, as a witness. Appellant’s counsel stated he understood what would be the testimony sought of this witness, and would object thereto; and asked the court to retire the jury, which was done.
