Jackson v. State.
4561
220 S. W. 2d 800
Opinion delivered May 30, 1949.
George F. Edivardes, for appellant.
Ike Murry, Attorney General and Robert Downie, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Opinion:
George Rose Smith, J.
Appellant was indicted for
burglary and grand larceny and appeals from a judgment sentencing liim to imprisonment for ten years. I)odd Teague, an accomplice in the commission of tlie crimes, had pleaded guilty to a separate indictment charging him with the same offenses. The evidence was amply sufficient to sustain the jury's verdict, but the State was permitted to introduce the record of Teague's plea of guilty. We passed upon the same question in Hammond v. State, 373 Ark. 674, 293 S.W. 714, and held that the admission of such evidence constitutes prejudicial error. ,The judgment must therefore be reversed.
