Same. — The Oode expressly authorizes the court trying the cause to allow the introduction of testimony at any time before the conclusion of the argument, if necessary to the due administration of justice. Pase. Dig., art. 3046.</p> <p>3. Murder — Express Malice. — The indicia of express malice, as expounded in McCoy v. The State, 25 Texas, 33, held applicable in the case at bar.</p>
