87 Ala. 135 | Ala. | 1888
There is no error in the charge given by the court, nor in the refusals to charge as requested by the defendant. The burglary was committed on Saturday night, and the defendant was arrested on the following Tuesday, at which time some of the articles stolen were found in his possession. His attempted flight, upon being informed of the offense of which he was accused by the person who was endeavoring to arrest him, and his recent possession of some of the stolen articles, were facts sufficient to authorize the inference that he was guilty of the burglary with which he was charged. Though the court might have declared, as
Affirmed.
