State v. Hilderbrand
105 Mo. 318 | Mo. | 1891
Defendant was jointly indicted with. Henry T. Melrose and James Parris for the larceny of a steer. On the trial witnesses were permitted to detail in evidence, over defendant’s objection, declarations made by Farris, subsequent to the common criminal enterprise, which tended to prove defendant’s complicity in the crime. Under the authority of State v. Melrose, 98 Mo. 594, the admission of these declarations was error.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
