No. 32782.

342 S.W.2d 315 (1961)

Ted Bradford SALYER, Appellant, v. STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

January 25, 1961.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

No attorney of record on appeal for appellant.

Frank Briscoe, Dist. Atty., Samuel H. Robertson, Jr., Erwin G. Ernst, Asst. Dist. Attys., Houston, and Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


McDONALD, Judge.

Murder is the offense; the punishment, ninety-nine years in the penitentiary.

The evidence is undisputed that on February 20, 1960, in Harris County, the appellant shot and killed the deceased, Leona Pearl Sawyer, with whom he had been living for approximately three years.

The only major conflict in the evidence concerns whether the killing was the result of an accident or whether it was a malicious murder.
