Case posture

Posture: Appeal from Circuit Court, Marshall county; W.W. Haralson. Judge. Rube Morrow was convicted of grand larceny, and appeals. Reversed and remanded on certiorari granted by Supreme Court in Ex parte Rube Morrow, 97 So. 108 . When the case was called for trial, defendant moved for a postponement and attachments for two certain witnesses. It was made known to the court that one witness was detained by reason of the sickness of a child; that the other witness had been summoned and had attended on a former day when the case was called and postponed at the instance of defendant, and had been seen to leave the courthouse with the defendant; that attachments had been issued for said witness; and that he could not be found. Whereupon the motion to postpone was overruled, and defendant excepted. On the trial a witness for the state testified "that his recollection was soy beans were worth from $4 to $6 per bushel." It appears from the bill of exceptions that the defendant objected to this statement and moved to exclude it, but that no objection was interposed to the question calling for the statement.
