Syllabus

<p>Witnesses. Cross-examination. Bias or interest.</p> <p>It is elementary law that a witness may be examined as to his bias or interest in the case in which he is testifying and where a witness for the state on trial for the unlawful sale of liquor, testifies that he had a little interest in the case and had been indicted for selling whiskey it was reversible error to exclude on cross-examination a question whether he had an understanding that if he would testify against the- accused he would not be prosecuted.</p>
