Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>The circumstances of each case must determine what declarations form part of the res gestae and what do not, there being no fixed rule determining the question. The declarations must be made shortly after the act and before sufficient time has elapsed to enable the accused to conceive some narrative that may help him in his defense.</p> <p>Elils of exception, in criminal cases, must be complete and full in order to put a disputed question at issue, so that the court can pass upon it on appeal.</p>
