Supreme Court of Alabama

Decided June 30, 1913

Supreme Court of Alabama · decided 1913-06-30

<p> Murder. </p> <p>Trial; Objection to Evidence; Time. — Where the question gave notice of the anticipated answer, and defendant permitted the question to be asked and answered without objection, his motion to exclude the evidence came too late, and was properly overruled.</p>

Relies on Tanner v. State

Affirmed · Decided 1913-06-30

SAYRE, J.

¶1— This case was properly tried and the result must be affirmed.

¶2The court and the jury might have found that there was a conspiracy between defendant and Joe McGay to take the life of deceased. Tanner v. State, 92 Ala. 1, 9 South. 613. It was immaterial for the purposes of this case whether or not Cleveland Trimble was a party thereto.

¶3*79Without affirming anything as to the competency of the witness Allen to say whether the bones about which he testified were human bones, defendant can take nothing by her exception to his testimony on that point, because a reasonable interpretation of the bill of exceptions is that the quéstion which elicited the answer gave notice of the anticipated answer, and, notwithstanding this, defendant waited for the answer without objection. Under these circumstances, the motion to exclude was properly overruled.

¶4There is no merit in the other exceptions.

¶5Affirmed.

Dowdell, C. J., and McClellan and de Graefenried, JJ., concur.
