45 So. 580 | Ala. | 1908
— The appellant was convicted of the crime of robbery. There was no error in overruling the
Tbe defendant bad examined witnesses as to contradictory statements made by tbe witness Milligan, for the purpose of impeaching him. This opened tbe door for tbe state to sustain said witness by proof as to bis general character. — Holley v. State, 105 Ala. 100, 17 South. 102.
Tbe court also properly overruled tbe objection to that part of tbe oral charge in relation to an alibi. It was fully explained to tbe jury that they alone Avere to consider and decide tbe question as to tbe alibi; and we do not discover in tbe charge any intimation by tbe court as to its opinion on that subject.
Tbe judgment of tbe court is affirmed.
