Ralph Stalvey v. State
    193 So. 547
    Division A
    Opinion Filed February 2, 1940
    
      
      Charles S. Loden, for Plaintiff in Error;
    
      George Couper Gibbs, Attorney General, and Thomas J. Ellis, Assistant Attorney General, for Defendant in Error.
   Buford, J.

On writ of error we review judgment of conviction of what is commonly called “armed robbery.”

Plaintiff in error presents two questions for our consideration, as follows:

“First Question: Did the court err in denying the defendant Stalvey’s motion for a separate trial?
“Second Question: Did the court err in overruling the defendant Stalvey’s motion for a new trial?”

The first question must be answered in the negative on authority of the opinion and judgment in' the case of Sawyer v. State, 100 Fla., part 2, page 1603, 132 Sou. 188.

The second question must also be answered in the negative. See Commercial Credit Co. v. Willis, 126 Fla. 444, 171 Sou. 304; Strickland, et al., v. Coe, 135 Fla. 693, 185 Sou. 616; 308 East 78th St. Corporation v. Favorite, 111 Fla. 234, 149 Sou. 625; Southern States Power Co. v. Pittman, 122 Fla. 758, 165 Sou. 893; Holstun, et al., v.
