1. “"If the defendant told the officers that he knew nothing about the stolen articles, then his statement was false, because he testified that he saw the sun visor in the garage on the 12th of August. If he refused to make any reply when he was asked about the incriminating evidence against him, then his silence was in the nature of an admission of guilt. ‘ Misrepresentations, contradictions, or silence of defendant when accusing statements are made usually will have the same effect as a confession or admission as corroborative of the accomplice. ’ (16 C. J. 707; Holt v. State, 28 Ga. App. 758 [113 S. E. 49]; Ettinger v. Commonwealth, 98 Pa. 338 .)””
