1. “We know of no authority under the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure or in the decisional law of this State which requires such revelation by the State. There is no showing the defendant, prior to trial, made any independent effort to secure this information. As the trial judge pointed out, the name of the witness was known to the defendant, the index to the minutes of the court reflected the name, and the matter could have been located as easily by the defendant as by the State. Neither the discovery demand for this information nor T.C.A. § 40-2109(c)(3) [now T.C.A. § 40-32-101] establishes a predicate upon which to grant the relief sought. 623 S.W.2d at 133.”
