Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Criminal Law — Accused as a Witness — Instructions — Interest — Credibility. When an accused becomes a witness in his own behalf it is not error for the court to call attention to his testimony and to advise the jury that they may consider his interest in the-result of the trial as affecting his credibility.</p> <p>2. - Leading Questions — New Trial. The court has a wide discretion in permitting leading questions in the examination of witnesses, and .only the abuse of such discretion affords grounds for a new trial.</p> <p>3. Intoxicating Liquors — Separate Sales. Each of several sales of liquor to the same persons, being independent and distinct from the others, is to be regarded as a separate sale, although such sales were made in quick succession and within a brief time.-</p>
