No. 1886.
Decided June 12, 1912.
Rehearing denied June 28, 1912.
1. —Robbery—Indictment—Motion in Arrest of Judgment.
Where, in a prosecution of robbery, the indictment followed approved precedent, there was no error in overruling a motion in arrest of judgment.
2. —Same—Charge of Court—Firearms—Violence—Article 723.
Where, upon trial of robbery, there was no question that the defendant used violence and exhibited a firearm in committing the alleged robbery, there was no error in that the court’s charge did not specifically state that the robbery must have been accomplished by the use of violence and firearms, as set forth in article 856, Penal Code; as it was not such error as called for a reversal of the case, under article 723, Code Criminal Procedure, Following Goodwin v. State, 39 Texas Grim. Rep., 408, and other cases. Davidson, Presiding Judge, dissenting.
