Burks v. State
Supreme Court of Alabama
Appeal from the County Court of Tallapoosa. Tried before the Hon. R. A. J. Cumbee. The facts of the case are sufficiently stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtDowdell, J.
The appellant was tried and convicted in the county court of Tallapoosa county on an indictment for carrying a pistol concealed about his person.
