Opinion
May 5, 1950.
William J. Baxter, Judge.
M.S. Barnes was convicted in the Circuit Court, Clark County, William J. Baxter, J., of chicken theft and he appealed. The court of Appeals, Stanley, C., held that the testimony of accomplice was sufficiently corroborated to sustain conviction.
Judgment affirmed.
Tom P. Senff, J.T. Bowser, Jr. and Thomas A. Waller for appellant.
A.E. Funk, Attorney General, and Zeb A. Stewart, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Affirming.
The appellant, M.S. Barnes, was also convicted of stealing the chickens of Mrs. Ada Craycraft in company with S.B. Anderson and was likewise given a sentence of one year in the penitentiary. He seeks a reversal of the judgment upon two of the grounds submitted by Anderson, namely, inadmissibility of the evidence of the police officers and insufficiency of corroboration of the accomplice. For the reasons given in Anderson v. Commonwealth, 312 Ky. 768, 229 S.W.2d 756, decided today the contentions are without merit.
The judgment is affirmed.
