Fowler v. Commonwealth

Opinion op the Count by

Judge Ratliff —

Affirming.

Oakley Fowler was convicted in the Clinton circuit court for the malicious cutting and wounding of another with intent to kill, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. He appeals.

A reversal of the judgment is asked because of the following alleged errors: (1) Refusal of the court to allow continuance because of absent witnesses; (2) misconduct of a member of the jury; (3) improper language of .the commonwealth attorney; and (4) insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict. We will discuss these questions in the order named.

In support…
