Supreme Court of Alabama January 13, 1916 (Martin v. State)

McCLELLAN, J.

The appellant was adjudged guilty of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced to suffer death. The victim was James Little. Little was assassinated when he opened a door in the house of one Garret. The only issue in the case was whether the defendant was-the assassin.

(1, 2) Little survived the shot about 18 hours.
