““Declarations and exclamations of the person injured are admissible in evidence where they are so connected with the crime as to constitute a part of the res gestae, and this is true whether they incriminate the accused or whether they exculpate him. (Citations.) Spon-taniety and such closeness of connection with the transaction as to exclude any presumption of fabrication are the essentials.””
