1. ““The question of whether or not declarations and threats of a defendant are so remote in time as to lack probative effect is a question resting largely, if not entirely, in the discretion of the trial court. ... We are clear, however, that in this case there was no abuse of discretion in admitting the defendant’s declaration. The fact that the declaration was made many months prior to the time of the assault affects its weight and not its admissibility and is a circumstance which should be, and no doubt was, taken into' account by the jury.””
