| Decision Date | 29 November 1898 |
| Citation | 24 So. 931,120 Ala. 386 |
| Parties | BURKS v. STATE. |
| Court | Alabama Supreme Court |
Appeal from Tallapoosa county court; R. A. J. Cumbee, Judge.
Jere Burks were convicted of carrying concealed weapons, and he appeals. Reversed.
Chas. G. Brown, Atty. Gen., for the State.
The appellant was tried and convicted in the county court of Tallapoosa county on an indictment for carrying a pistol concealed about his person. The bill of exceptions recites that it contains all of the evidence given on the trial. Upon a careful consideration, we fail to find any proof of venue,-that the offense was committed in Tallapoosa county. The court below therefore erred in the refusal to give the general affirmative charge as requested in writing by the defendant. Bailey v. State, 116 Ala. 437, 22 So. 918; Brown v. State, 100 Ala. 92, 14 So. 761; Randolph v. State, 100 Ala. 139, 14 So. 792; Justice v. State, 99 Ala. 180, 13 So. 658.
There is nothing in the exception reserved to the ruling of the court in permitting the witness Phillips to be recalled to testify, because he had remained within hearing of the trial after the witnesses had been put under the rule. This was a matter resting in the sound discretion of the trial court, and is not subject to review on appeal.
For the error in refusing to give the charge as requested, in writing, by the defendant, the judgment of the county court must be reversed, and the cause remanded.
