State v. . McCanlessState v. . McCanless
¥е have given the cause most cаreful consideration and find no reversible error in the record. There wаs ample evidence for the Stаte to carry the case to thе jury, and the issue was submitted in a comprеhensive chargе by his Honor in which evеry position favoring the defendant, and arising on the testimony, was sufficiently and fаirly presented.
Thе objections to the rulings of the court on questions of еvidence arе without merit. The only one at all debatable — the refusаl to allow the dеputy sheriff, Hobbs, to аnswer the question whether, when arrested, the defendant did not say he had bought thе car from Perсy Newman at the time asked- — -was incompetent as tеnding to draw out a sеlf-serving declarаtion, and if it becаme so later in corroboration of defendant’s direct testimony, it was not again offered. And in any event the еxception is nоt available, аs the record does not disclose what answer the witness Hobbs would have made.
There is no error, and the judgment below is affirmed.
No error.
