Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law and Procedure. Murder. Evidence. Circumstantial Evidence. Previous difficulty.</p> <p>It is reversible error on tbe trial of a murder case, dependent largely on circumstantial evidence, to allow testimony to be offered by tbe state touching tbe details of a previous difficulty between defendant and deceased, occurring two or more months before tbe homicide, in tbe absence of evidence of continued hostility thereafter, and the exclusion thereof by the trial court, after the state had rested its case, will not cure the error.</p>
