Syllabus

<p>Evidence — Criminal law — Proof of another crime.</p> <p>Whenever a case is such that proof of one crime directly tends to prove any fact material in the trial of another such proof may be admitted, and the fact that it may tend to prejudice the defendant in the minds of the juroi's, is not necessarily ground for its exclusion; but where the proof has no relation to the crime under examination, but concerns an act committed in another jurisdiction, it is inadmissible.</p>
