Syllabus

<p>Homicide (§ 316*) — Prosecution—New Trial —Grounds.</p> <p>The fact that a defendant on trial for murder is brought from the jail to the courtroom with manacles 'on his wrists, and that the jurors, or some of them, may have seen them removed and replaced, is not sufficient ground for a new trial, where it appears that all other prisoners were treated in the same way, that no particular attention was called to defendant, and that no complaint was made until after conviction and in the motion for new trial.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
