Welch v. Commonwealth
Court of Appeals of Kentucky
Case 11 — Petition for Rehearing — Petition for Rehearing Denied. The court seems to base its opinion in the reversal of the case at bar, upon the case of Leslie v. Com., 19 Rep., 1202, and Lewis v.

It seems to us that the rule laid down in the case at bar, and the two cases above cited, is in direct conflict with the case of Burdette v. Commonwealth.
