Teel v. State

RICE, J. This is a bastardy proceeding, in which the appellant was tried, and found guilty of being the father of the bastard child of Abbie Aeree, a single woman. We have carefully read the entire record, and so far as we can see, the prosecution was conducted in all respects in accordance with the statutes governing. The evidence on the part of the state and on the part of the appellant was in sharp conflict, but the issues in the case were submitted to the jury under correct instructions, and we discover no rulings upon the taking of testimony which were prejudicially erroneous. A charge singling out any particular item of evidence upon which to base a verdict is never proper. Hence appellant’s written requested charge No. 2 was refused without error. The judgment appears to be legally correct and in proper form (Code 1923, § 3428), and is affirmed. Affirmed.
