fendant was not physically present
when Oliver Dotson was murdered by
Macarthur, and his counsel argue that
the evidence was insufficient to justi-
fly the verdict. That the evidence was
ample to prove the guilt OF Macarthur
is not controverted. With his own
hand he deliberately murdered the
decedent. The contention is that
there was not enough evidence to
prove the existence of a conspiracy
between the defendant and McArth-
ur to commit the crime. But we are
of the opinion that the evidence was
sufficient to establish the fact that
the defendant advised and encourag.
ed Macarthur to murder Oliver Dot
son. The jurors were the exclusive
judges of the credibility of the wit
nesses and the weight to be given to
the evidence"
