TITUS, Judge.
Harry Dean Hurd was convicted by a jury of first degree murder (§ 559.010) for allegedly having shot and killed M. C. Cur-tiss with a .45 caliber automatic pistol in Pat’s Cafe near Ft. Leonard Wood. Charged as a habitual criminal (§ 556.280), he was sentenced by the court to life imprisonment (§ 559.030) and appealed.1
To save the 1,000 proverbial words otherwise necessary to describe the picture scene of the event, we here reproduce an exhibit which depicts the inside of Pat’s Cafe as it appeared immediately following the shooting.
