1Opinion of the Court
Chase, J.:
The defendants were jointly indicted for the crime of robbery in the first degree. The indictment specifically charged that the defendants were accomplices actually present at the time of the commission of the crime, aiding and assisting each other in its commission. The jury found them guilty of robbery in the second degree.
