Bronson v. State
Bronson v. State
Opinion of the Court
Writ of error here is to review' judgment of conviction of the offense of breaking and entering a building .of another with intent to commit grand larceny.
The only reversible error found in the record is that over the objection of the defendant witnesses- for the State were allowed to testify to the effect that defendant had, at a time •long prior to- the commission of the offense for which he was being tried and in another county, participated in the commission of a like offense.
Although the evidence appears strong and convincing against the defendant he denied the charge and the admitting of the testimony above referred to materially violated his rights.
