Gross v. Commonwealth

Opinion op the Court by

Judge Sims

Affirming.

Upon the trial of an indictment charging appellant, Morris Gross, with the wilful murder of Ray Cornett, he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and his punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for 10 years. Four errors are assigned for reversal of the judgment: 1. The verdict is flagrantly against the evidence ; 2. the instructions did not give the whole law of the case; 3. the court erred in ordering a jury summoned from Bell County; 4. the court erred in not admonishing the jury the purpose of impeaching character evidence.
