190 A.2d 544

WESTCOAT v. STATE

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided May 2, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph Rosenthal and Norman N. Yankellow for appellant.

Joseph S. Kaufman, Special Assistant Attorney General, with whom were Thomas B. Finan, Attorney General, Leonard T. Kardy, State's Attorney for Montgomery County, and Cornelius F. Sybert, Jr., State's Attorney for Howard County, on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT, HORNEY and MARBURY, JJ.

MARBURY, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

From a conviction of murder in the first degree and a sentence of life imprisonment imposed in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, appellant prosecutes this appeal and presents two questions for our consideration: (1) did the trial court err in permitting the introduction of evidence of another crime, and (2) did the trial court err in permitting the State's Attorney to argue improperly.
