State v. Underwood

When this case was originally submitted to this court for decision the following opinion was rendered, viz:

The defendant was indicted in the circuit court of Mississippi county at its August term, 1881, for murder in the first degree in killing one Belle Lucas. After being duly arraigned he was put upon his trial at the August term, 1882, of said court, and found guilty of murder in the first degree. From this judgment of conviction he has appealed, and his counsel have assigned various grounds of error which will be considered in the order they have been made.
