Collins v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Cammack—

Affirming.

Shiloh Collins and John Donaldson were indicted jointly for the murder of Evie Miller. On a separate trial Collins was found guilty and his punishment fixed at life imprisonment. He is asking reversal of the judgment on the grounds that (1) no fact elicited from one accused of crime, while in custody, by an officer in answer to questions put to him by the officer, is admissible against him on a trial; and (2) the evidence does not support the verdict and the judgment thereon.

Miller was killed at his home around 8:30 p. m. on September 5, 1942.…
