““8. The power to exclude witnesses from courtroom falls within general discretionary powers of court to be exercised during trial in aid of eliciting the truth, promoting orderly presentation of evidence, and to assure that all parties, in exercise of reasonable diligence, are afforded fair opportunity to offer all relevant evidence. “9. If through inadvertence, inattention or mistake an excluded witness remains in courtroom under circumstances which show that the witness and the party who calls him are innocent of intention to violate the court’s order, it is generally an abuse of discretion to deprive a party without fault of substantive evidence. “10. Where court receives testimony of witness who failed to comply with order of sequestration, court’s ruling will not be disturbed on review unless special circumstances are shown that witness remained in courtroom with consent, or connivance, or knowledge of party calling him.””

1 later decision quote this exact passage“One of the sordid facts of life is that the most cogent proof of guilt frequently derives from an evil source. Criminals seem to know more about crimes than good people, and the state must get its evidence where it finds it.”
