Clarence David MINTON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

January 11, 1956.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roy Joe Stevens, Clem Calhoun, Amarillo, for appellant.

Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


DAVIDSON, Judge.

This is a conviction for murder with malice; the punishment, twenty-five years in the penitentiary.

No statement of facts accompanies the record.

For a reversal of this case, appellant relies upon two bills of exception and the facts certified therein.

Each bill of exception complains of the closing argument of state's counsel to the jury as being a reference to the failure of the appellant to testify as a witness.
