1Opinion of the Court
Speakman, J.:
Under the evidence in the case, the Court would not be justified at this time in directing a verdict for the defendant. The defendant may, of course, renew his application at the close of the testimony, if he desires.
The defense was an alibi.
At the conclusion of the testimony in the case, the defendant renewed his motion for binding instructions to the jury on the same ground as before stated; citing Brill’s Ency. of Crim. Law, Vol. 1, § 94, pp. 184, 185 and 186; State v. Tate, 145 Mo. 667, 47 S. W. 792; Garrity v. People, 70 Ill. 83; State v. Hanson, 49 Mont. 361, 141 P. 669.
