(аfter stating the facts). It is insisted that the court erred in refusing to give requested instructions Nos. 2 and 6, in the admission of certain testimony, in the refusal to discharge a panel of thirty special jurors; and that the testimony is insufficient to support the verdict, therе being no testimony corroborating that of the accomplices.
Instruction No. 2 was sufficiently covered by the genеral instructions given calling attention particularly to a certain kind of testimony admitted about the facts, of which it was claimed the defendant had knowledge before the consummation of the robbery. The general instructions being correct, no error was committed in refusing to give this instruction, conceding, not deciding, that it was a correct declaratiоn of law.
Instruction No. 6, on the question of corroboration of the testimony of accomplices, was fully covеred by instruction No. 4, given by the court, and no error was committed in not repeating the instruction as No. 6. Trial courts are not required to give requested instructions which are fully covered in the court’s charge. Smith v. State,
It is insisted that the court erred in rеfusing to dismiss a special panel of jurors selected by the sheriff on account of his prejudice against the defеndant. The regular judge was disqualified in the Hooper cases, and Hon. Ben E. Isbell was selected to try them; and the court held that the sheriff was disqualified in serving jurors to try Hooper. Before this case was set for trial, and during the regular term, the trial judge ordered the sheriff to select 30 special jurors, and this case was subsequently set for trial, and it was to these 30 jurors that the dеfendant’s motion to dismiss the panel'went. Evidence was heard upon the motion which tended to show the sheriff’s prejudicе against the defendant, and also that this case was not set for trial at the time he selected the special panel of jurors. It will not be necessary to discuss the proof adduced on the part of the State in order to show that no prejudice resulted to the defendant by the use of these special jurors, for the reason that on the trial thе defendant did not exhaust his peremptory challenges, nor make any showing whatever that any particular persоn who served on the jury was prejudiced against him. The record reflects that he only exercised 16 challenges in all bеfore the jury which tried the case was selected, and, not having exhausted his peremptory challenges, this constituted an implied admission that the .jurors were unobjectionable, and he has no right to complain here. York v. State,
It is next insistеd that the court erred in admitting the testimony of Mrs. Hulse and Mrs. Mills, her daughter, to the effect that Biddy Hooper, another acсomplice, brought Hulse some of the money obtained in the bank robbery after the robbery was committed and the robbers had left the State, the purpose of the conspiracy having been consummated. Although it is true that the acts and declarations of a conspirator are inadmissible against his co-conspirator after the accomрlishment of the purpose of the conspiracy, such is not the case here. The purpose was to rob the bаnk and procure the money, and necessarily distribute it among those participating in the enterprise, and the cоnspiracy cannot be said to have ended so long as the money procured in the robbery had not been divided among the robbers. Wiley v. State,
This defendant was charged with the crime of accessory after the fact of the robbery, and it was not consummated as long as the defendant concealed the crime and protected the prinсipals. In State v. Gauther, 231 Pac. (Ore.) 141, the Supreme Court of Oregon said: “The acts and conduct of one accоmplice, during the pendency of the wrongful act, not only in its perpetration, but also in its subsequent concealment,- are admissible against the other.”
In Miller v. State,
The conspiracy being still in existence, tlie testimony of Mrs. Hulse and her dаughter to the fact that Biddy Hooper brought the money from defendant, appellant, to Mr. Hulse’s house, he being one оf the accomplices, and what he said with reference thereto are admissible and could be proved.
It is finally contended that there is not sufficient testimony corroborating the statements of the accomplices to suрport the verdict. The court has concluded otherwise, however. Mrs. Burke testified that she brought her husband and Coopеr, the two bank robbers, to Mr. Hooper’s house, where they all spent the night before the robbery, and she went on back to Texas the next day, leaving them there. Hulse’s wife and daughter testified that Biddy Hooper brought Hulse money from the defendant, it bеing in half dollars, quarters, dimes and nickels, the kind of money taken from the bank; and there was other corroborative testimony sufficient to warrant the jury in finding that it connected the defendant with the commission of the crime. Middleton v. State, supra.
We find no prejudicial error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
