Description
Felix Wells was jointly indicted with Freddie Hooks, alias Tony McBrown, for the murder of Willie Lee Wells, the wife of Felix Wells, Hooks being charged as principal in the first degree, and Felix Wells as accessory before the fact. Freddie Hooks entered his plea of guilty, and was given a life sentence. Felix Wells pleaded not guilty, and being tried was found guilty, with a recommendation of mercy. He was sentenced for life. His motion for new trial was overruled, and he excepted. 1. Grounds 1 and 6 of the amendment to the motion for new trial having been expressly abandoned, we will first consider special ground 2 which complains of the admission, over objection, of a statement by the sheriff, a witness for the State, that Freddie Hooks had pointed out to him the place of the homicide, and pictures of the witness and Hooks in an automobile at such place, and a declaration by the witness that he was present when Hooks said he committed the crime. It is contended that it was error to admit such evidence dealing with admissions and declarations of the principal, made after his arrest and after the completion of the criminal enterprise and not in the presence of the alleged accessory, especially when the principal's plea of guilty had already been admitted without objection.
