Ellison, J. —
The defendant was charged with stealing some furniture and wall paper and was convicted of petit larceny in the Gentry circuit- court. He contends that the circuit court erred in permitting him to be asked in cross-examination while a witness in his own behalf questions, which were preceded by the statement of the witness that he had “been preaching in this state about twenty-nine years. Before that I was in Iowa in the Des Moines conference. I came from Iowa here. I preached in Iowa four or five years. I lived in Johnson county, Iowa.” The following are the questions referred to:
