Indictment for murder against H. G. Box. From verdict and sentence of manslaughter, defendant appeals because of refusal of trial Judge to grant motion of continuance.
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Chief Justice Pope.
The defendant was tried for the crime of murder at the fall term, 1902, of the Court of General Sessions for Hampton County. It was agreed by the counsel representing the prosecution and the defense that the trial should take place on Tuesday afternoon, the 7th of October, 1902. When the case was called for trial at the time fixed by counsel, the defendant moved for a continuance upon affidavits submitted, because of the absence of witnesses deemed by him essential to his defense. We will refer to these matters more fully…
