[EDITORS' NOTE: THIS PAGE CONTAINS HEADNOTES. HEADNOTES ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF THE COURT, THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT DISPLAYED.] Albert Ellis was convicted of an assault with intent to murder and he appeals. Affirmed. Appellant was indicted and convicted of an assault with intent to murder one Eugene Lowery.
(1, 2) Several written charges were requested by appellant which the court refused. Charge numbered first was properly refused. A similar charge was condemned in Prater's Case,
"Third: Before you can convict the defendant in this case you must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the shot was fired by the defendant with the intent to take the life of Eugene Lowery."
These charges would be correct had they been limited to assault with intent to murder; but under this indictment appellant could have been convicted of a lessor crime where the intent to take life was not an ingredient; hence the court properly refused charges second and third. — Code 1907, § 7315; Sankey v. State,
After a careful examination of the record and appellant's brief, we are of opinion that no reversible error is shown, and the judgment of the court below must be affirmed.
Affirmed.
