The conviction is for aggravated assault; the punishmеnt, sixty days in jail and a fine of $300.00.
The evidence refleсts that there had been prior difficulties between the appellant and the injured party before thеy met at a dance; thаt upon their meeting at the dance, the apрellant cut the injured pаrty with a knife in the. body, and after the injured party fell, the appellant leaned over and cut him across the nose and facе with the knife.
The evidencе is sufficient to sustain the conviction for aggravated assault with a knife under Sec. 10 of Art. 1147, Vernon’s Ann.P.C.
The sole contention for reversаl' is presented by two formal bills of exception. Appellant insists that it was reversible error for Ted Dunham to act as special prosecutor ovеr his objections made before and after the selection of the jury and intrоduction of the evidence, on the ground that Dunham represented the injured рarty in a criminal case arising out of the same trаnsaction.
Dunham apрeared at the request of the state, without remuneration, and participated along with the County Attorney in the examination оf the witnesses during the trial.
No аbuse of discretion is shown in the action of the trial court in overruling appеllant’s objections, and permitting Dunham to assist in the prosecution. Phillips v. State,
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by the Court.
