Description
Appellant was convicted of assault with intent to murder and the Court sentenced him to twenty years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
At arraignment, in the presence of his retained counsel, he pleaded not guilty. After sentence was imposed he gave notice
of appeal. He was found to be indigent and a free transcript was furnished him. Trial counsel represents the appellant on
this appeal. The evidence in this case was in hopeless conflict. The testimony adduced by the State more than amply proved the corpus
delicti. Six eyewitnesses for the State testified that appellant fired the pistol that struck the deceased. They saw the pistol
in appellant's hand and saw a blaze of fire come out of the barrel as appellant shot the victim.
