1Opinion of the Court

ALDEN A. STOCKARD, Special Judge.

John Everett Poor, charged under the Second Offender Act, § 556.280 RSMo 1969, was found guilty by a jury of robbery in the first degree by means of a dangerous and deadly weapon and was sentenced by the Court to the custody of the Department of Corrections for a term of fifteen years. He has appealed from the ensuing judgment. Although we find it necessary to reverse the judgment, we shall rule certain issues which likely will recur in the event of a new trial.

Appellant first contends that the evidence was insufficient to submit the case to the jury.
