Barnes v. State
Barnes v. State
Opinion of the Court
The offense is assault with intent to murder; the punishment, ten years.
A Mrs. Clinkscales testified that she saw appellant fire the second shot at Dickey, while he was lying on the floor; and that a woman was behind the bar trying to get the appellant to desist before the second shot was fired.
Appellant, testifying in his own behalf, gave practically the same account of the transaction as had Dickey, except that appellant claimed that Dickey was standing up at the bar holding a beer bottle by the neck at the time he fired both shots.
We find the evidence sufficient to support the conviction.
There are no bills of exception in the record.
The proceedings appearing regular, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
