State v. Schultz

Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT

WATSON, J.

Appellant was. convicted of embezzlement.

We find ho merit in the contention based upon the refusal of requested instructions. Their subject-matter was sufficiently included in instructions given.

On cross-examination the court permitted appellant to be asked whether he had not taken mortgaged property out of the state. The ruling was no doubt made on the authority of State v. Bailey, 27 N. M. 145, 198 P. 529, which seems to justify it.

The judgment must be affirmed, and it is so ordered.

BICKLEY, C. J., and PARKER, J, concur. CATRON and SIMMS, JJ., did not participate.
