Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

March 28, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Allen S. Lawrence, Jr., Aransas Pass, for appellant.

Jim D. Vollers, State's Atty., and Robert A. Huttash, Asst. State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


OPINION

MORRISON, Judge.

The offense is assault to murder with malice; the punishment, seven (7) years.

Appellant was tried and convicted of attacking his wife with a knife.

Appellant's sole ground of error relates to the admission of a hearsay statement of a neighbor that one of appellant's children told her that on the day of the assault her father was sharpening a knife "so it would be ready when her mama came home".

No objection...
