Jones v. State

Hutcheson, Justice.

Agnes Jones and Hester Lee Frances were jointly indicted for the murder of one Georgia B. Johnson. It was admitted that the actual stabbing or cutting was done by Hester Lee Frances, but the State sought to, show that Agnes Jones was present, aiding and abetting the commission of the crime. Agnes Jones was placed on trial, and the trial resulted in a verdict of guilty with recommendation of life imprisonment. Her motion for new trial was overruled, and she excepted. The plaintiff in error expressly abandons the general grounds of the motion for new trial.
