He was indicted for both murders, and was first tried on the indictment for the murder of Diggs. On that trial he was convicted of murder in the first degree, but the verdict was set aside by the trial court; and when he was again put on trial it was on the indictment charging the murder of Travis. He was convicted of murder in the first degree, and appeals.
