BARTH v. STATE


26 Wis.2d 466 (1965)

BARTH, Plaintiff in error, v. STATE, Defendant in error.

Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

February 2, 1965.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the plaintiff in error there was a brief and oral argument by Gordon Myse of Appleton.

For the defendant in error the cause was argued by William A. Platz, assistant attorney general, with whom on the brief was George Thompson, attorney general.


GORDON, J.

The sole ground of this appeal is Mr. Barth's contention that he was convicted upon an extrajudicial confession which was not corroborated. The state concedes that under the law of Wisconsin a confession by itself is insufficient to support the conviction of the confessor. Holt v. State (1962), 17 Wis.2d 468, 480, 117 N.W.2d 626; State v. Bronston (1959), 7 Wis.2d 627
