Peden v. State
Peden v. State
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The instructions complained of are not “marked” as required by the statute to make them part of the record, and are not contained in the bill of exceptions, and, therefore, cannot be noticed. We are confined to the first and third grounds of error assigned, viz.: the admission of the testimony of the witness Thornton, and that the verdict is contrary to the law and evidence. We are not able to perceive that the testimony of Thornton was of any value whatever. It was not inadmissible so far as we can see, but it is inconceivable that it exerted any influence on the jury. Its admission was not
Affirmed.

- 3. Instructions. Bill of exceptions. Unless “ marked” as required by the statute, or copied into the bill of exceptions, the charges are no part of tire record, and cannot be noticed on appeal. 2. Confession. Prisoner. Voluntary statement. The statement of a prisoner to the officer who has him in custody is admissible in evidence at his trial for murder, if made without anything being done to induce or extort a confession. 3. Bill of Exceptions. New trial. The bill of exceptions giving all the evidence and exception being reserved to the court’s action in overruling the motion for a new trial in the entry of such ruling, the supreme court examines the facts to pass on the ground of the motion that the verdict is contrary to law and the evidence. 4. Conspiracy. Liability of conspirators. If in carrying out a conspiracy to take a man from his house and flog him, one of the conspirators kills the man, the others are equally guilty of murder.
