New York Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
Hiscock, Ch. J.
The defendant has been convicted of murder in the first degree. The indictment charged that he and two others “ in the County of Kings, willfully, feloniously and of malice aforethought, shot and killed Samuel Wolchock with a revolver.” The theory of the murder was that while defendant and his co-defendants were engaged in robbing Wolchock one of the latter shot and killed him. The substantial facts establishing the crime were not only undisputed but evidence of them was largely furnished by the defendant himself who was tried separately and took the stand in his own behalf.
