Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
By the COURT:
It was error to permit the witness Smith to testify to the prior conversation between himself and Walker. The conversation was not had in presence or hearing of the defendant. It was merely hearsay evidence, and very clearly inadmissible.
For this error the judgment must be reversed. It is unnecessary to notice other palpable errors committed at the trial.
Judgment and order reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
