<p>1. —Murder—Acts of Third Parties — Practice on Appeal.</p> <p>Where, upon trial of murder, complaint was made of the refusal of defendant’s request that the jury be retired' while the aged mother of defendant and deceased, a witness for the State, was being assisted to and from the -witness stand during the trial of the case, held, that there was no reversible error in the instant case in the absence of an affirmative showing of injury, or a flagrant abuse of discretion of the lower court.</p> <p>2. —Same—Evidence—Reputation of Deceased.</p> <p>Where defendant objected to the proof of the good reputation of deceased on the ground that it was immaterial, irrelevant and prejudicial, and that deceased had been away on a prolonged absence until a few months prior to the homicide, and that the witnesses could not therefore have formed an opinion provable in court, and that beside there was no proof of communication of threats to the defendant, which bill of exception was qualified by the court, held that there was no reversible error.</p> <p>3. —Same—Reputation of Deceased — Communicated Threats — Rule Stated.</p> <p>The statute makes no distinction in the rule laid down authorizing the introduction of proof of deceased’s reputation, between threats communicated or uncommunicated, nor would there seem to be any reason why, as to communicated threats, a different rule should obtain between cases where the threats were communicated to a defendant and believed by him, in a case where they were made to him by the deceased in person. Following Jirou v. State, 53 Texas Crim. Rep., 18 and other cases. Qualifying Arnwine v. State, 50 Texas Crim. Rep., 254.</p> <p>4. —Same—Charge of Court — Deadly Weapon — Presumption.</p> <p>Where, upon trial of murder, the court instructed the jury that if they found and believed from the evidence that at the time the defendant shot and killed the deceased, if he did, that the decease had a pistol in his hand, under circumstances which reasonably indicated an intention to murder or to inflict serious bodily injury upon him, then the law presumed and the jury should presume that the deceased intended to murder or to inflict serious bodily injury upon the defendant, there was no reversible error. Following Kendall v. State, 8 Texas. Crim. Rep., 569.</p> <p>5. —Same—Charge of Court — Function of Jury — Rule Stated.</p> <p>Where, upon trial of murder, the court instructed the jury that they are the exclusive judges of the facts and the weight of the testimony, the contention that in the .instant case, and where the law of Article 1106, P. C. may be demanded, the charge ought to instruct the jury that where the law creates certain presumptions arising from facts, the jury are not the exclusive judges of the facts, is untenable.</p> <p>6. —Same—Sufficiency of the Evidence.</p> <p>Where, upon appeal from a conviction of murder, the evidence sustained the same, there is no reversible error.</p> <p>7. —Same—Rehearing—Reputation of Deceased — Communicated Threats.</p> <p>Where defendant admitted the homicide, and endeavored to excuse it upon the ground of self-defense by introducing evidence of an attack or an apparent attack upon him by deceased at the time deceased was killed, and that prior thereto he had made threats to kill or do injury to the person of the defendant, it was competent for the State to meet such testimony by evidence of the reputation of deceased for peace, etc.</p> <p>8. —Same—Communicated Threats — Statutes Construed.</p> <p>The first paragraph of the statute doubtless is restricted to communicated threats, the other subdivision, however, is general in its scope and appears unrestricted in the statement that in every case where proof of threats has been made, it shall be competent to' introduce evidence of the general character of the deceased, and includes uncommunicated threats.</p> <p>9. —Same—Question to Witness — General Reputation of Deceased.</p> <p>The question to the witness as to the general reputation for peace and quietude of the deceased was framed in language often found approved in the reports, and there was no error.</p> <p>10. —Same—General Reputation — General Character.</p> <p>Where it is contended that the words “general character” are distinguished from and do not mean the same as “general reputation,” held that these terms should not be given such limited meaning. ■</p> <p>11. — Same—Charge of Court — Deadly Weapon.</p> <p>Where the charge of the court submitting the law touching the use of a deadly weapon was critized in that it contained the words “under circumstances which reasonably indicated an intention to murder or inflict serious bodily injury upon him” as an undue restriction upon the right of the jury to apply the legal presumption intended by Article 1106, P. C., held that inasmuch as the court told the jury to acquit if, from the words or acts of the deceased, etc., it reasonably appeared to defendant that he was in danger of death or serious bodily harm. (Following Gunn v. State— recently decided). There was no reversible error under Article 743, C. C. P.</p>
