““There was no error in allowing the deputy sheriff Cooper to testify that when defendant told the Solicitor, shortly after the homicide, that deceased had stabbed him three times on the back of his shoulder, the Solicitor asked: ‘Do you mean that this boy Fred Ridley * * * cut or stabbed you on the left shoulder there after you shot the last time?’ and that defendant made no reply to this question. * * Pope v. State, 39 Ala.App. 42 , 96 So.2d 441, 445-446 (1957).”
