Filing in a reasonable time is sufficient.</p> <p>Id. — Filing of Original Notes—Record must Show Error.—If the appellant claims that there was error in admitting the transcript because the original notes were not filed, he must show affirmatively that they were not filed.</p> <p>Deposition Taken under Stipulation. —A deposition taken under a stipulation which provides for the admission of the deposition without conditions is governed by the stipulation, and not by the statutory provisions.</p> <p>Accomplice — Corroboration.—The objection that a witness was an accomplice goes to the effect of the evidence, and not to its admissibility.
