While we agree with the result of the decision ‍​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‍of the Court of Criminal Appeals, and therefore decline to issue the writ of certiorari, we cannot agree with ‍​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‍all the conclusions of that court and especially where it was stated: “There is evidence that he [Clifford Craig] ‍​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‍encouraged or procured, or was instrumental in causing the robbery to be committed.”

Other evidence, although circumstantial, was amply ‍​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‍sufficient to corroborate the accomplice‘s testimony as well as tended to connect the defendant with the commission of the ‍​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‍robbery.

Writ denied.

TORBERT, C.J., and BLOODWORTH, FAULKNER and ALMON, JJ., concur.
