Long v. State
| Decision Date | 20 November 1911 |
| Citation | 57 So. 62,2 Ala.App. 96 |
| Parties | LONG v. STATE. |
| Court | Alabama Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Law and Equity Court, Lee County; Lum Duke, Judge.
Lee Long was convicted of manslaughter in the second degree, and he appeals. Affirmed.
Barnes & Denson, for appellant.
R. C. Brickell, Atty. Gen., and T. H. Seay, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
From anything that appears from the bill of exceptions, the statement of Lucius Pope, a witness for the state, that "I saw the place where the knife stabbed him," may have been in response to a question clearly seeking to elicit such a statement. It not appearing that the question calling for the statement was objected to, it cannot be said that the defendant was entitled to have his motion to exclude that statement sustained, conceding that the testimony would have been subject to objection duly interposed.
The court was not in error in sustaining the objection to the question of the defendant to his witness Blackmore: "What did you say to him, and he to you, at O'Grady's store, after the difficulty was over, about the knife in his hand?" What the witness may have said to the deceased some time after the difficulty, at a place other than that at which the difficulty occurred, clearly was not admissible over the objection duly interposed by the state to such evidence; nor was it made to appear that the statement of the deceased which was called for by the question was so connected in time and place with the difficulty to which it referred as to constitute it a part of the res gestæ of the occurrence which was under investigation.
