Syllabus

<p>1. The granting or overruling of a motion for á hül of partiyulars made by defendant in a criminal case rests largely in the discretion of the trial court.</p> <p>2. There is no abuse of discretion in denying a motion for a bill of particulars made by defendant in a criminal case in the absence of any showing that a bill of particulars was necessary in the proper administration of justice in such case.</p> <p>3. Where a defendant in a criminal prosecution testifies as a witness in his own behalf, the State has the right on cross-examination to interrogate him as to whether he has previously been convicted of a criminal offense.</p> <p>4. It is not reversible error for the trial court to overrule objections to argument of counsel to the jury because such argument is unsound or illogical.</p>
