Description
[1] On October 19, 1942, an indictment was filed charging the defendant and his two brothers, Albert and Clarence Wilson, with the crime of murder, in that on June 15, 1942, they did willfully, deliberately, feloniously, and with premeditation and malice aforethought, and specific intent, kill one Harry Bolden. The defendants were granted separate trials and the State elected to try this defendant first. On November 16, 1942, he waived arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty. On that date he filed a motion for continuance because of the absence of a witness, Dr. Boortz. The motion was denied. The error assigned upon this ruling will be referred to later. After preliminary motions and demurrer the trial was begun on November 23, 1942, and the verdict was returned on December 2, 1942. In support of his plea of not guilty the defendant urged that the killing was done in self-defense in an affray in which Bolden was the aggressor, and that, because thereof and because of the defendant's mental condition and intoxication, there was no premeditation, deliberation, or malice aforethought, and no specific intent to kill.
