Bora Ella Tarpe and Tom Tarpe were jointly indicted for burglary. She pleaded guilty; he was tried and found guilty, and his motion for a new trial was overruled. She testified that she committed the crime, and that he had nothing to do with it. It appeared that the-burglary was in the daytime, and that certain tracks found on the premises were woman’s tracks. Most of the stolen articles were found in a room occupied by both Tom and Bora Ella Tarpe, who lived together but were not married. Among these articles was a guitar which Tom Tarpe pawned after the burglary. Numerous other circumstances were in evidence, but they need, not be detailed here.
