Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Appeal—Harmless Error. It is not prejudicial error to refuse to strike from an information the name of defendant’s confederate and his aliases, where the matter objected to was heard at the trial without objection, although the confederate was dead.</p> <p>Homicide — Evidence of Other Crimes — Motive.
