Delivered June 9, 1937.
Bill of Exceptions — Qualification.
Bill of exceptions complaining of the action of trial court in forcing defendant into trial without an attorney, and in failing to appoint an attorney to represent defendant, held not to show error, where bill was qualified by court to show that trial court upon several occasions offered to appoint an attorney to represent defendant, which offer was refused, and during presentation of defense testimony defendant had his attorney in court.
Appeal from the District Court of Potter County. Tried below before the Hon. E. C. Nelson, Jr., Judge.
Appeal from conviction for robbery; penalty, confinement in penitentiary for ten years.
Affirmed.
The opinion states the case.
J. W. Culwell, of Amarillo, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
The offense is robbery; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for ten years.
The indictment appears regular. The record is before this court without statement of facts.
The bill of exception found in the record complains of the action of the trial court in forcing appellant into trial without an attorney and also for the failure of the court to appoint an attorney to represent the appellant upon the trial. According to the qualification of the bill, the court, upon several occasions, offered to appoint an attorney to represent the appellant, but the offer was refused. It also appears from the qualification that during the presentation of his defense testimony the appellant had his attorney in court. As qualified, the bill fails to show error.
No error having been perceived or pointed out which justifies a reversal of the conviction, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Affirmed.
