““The record in this cause discloses that the defendant, upon cross-examination of witness Charles Johnson, for the state, did' undertake to elicit testimony which reflected upon the good reputation of the deceased. Defendant having opened up the subject of the good reputation of the deceased, it was not error to permit the state to rehut any testimony offered by the defendant upon that subject.””
