APPEAL from the circuit court of Oktibbeha County HON. JOHN C STENNIS, Judge.
Ira Roberts was jointly indicted with two others, and, on being separately tried, was convicted. Affirmed.
Affirmed.
John D Greene, Jr., of Starkville, and Rush H. Knox, of Jackson, for appellant.
The appellant in this case was a resident citizen of the State of Arkansas and had never been in any trouble or convicted of any crime except a few misdeameanor cases and for being drunk.
