““Defendant claimed that the second watch was obtained by him on the night of his arrest in precisely the same way, being given to him by a party whom he had caught in a compromising position with a young-woman. The State, in rebuttal, introduced a young-woman named Robinson who testified (over the objection of defendant) that on the night he was arrested she was in company with one Morrow, sitting- upon the grass, after a walk, when defendant came out of a clump of bushes near by and obtained the watch of Morrow under circumstances similar to those of the former case.””
