Heading: Cautionary instruction as to the testimony of defendant's accomplice.

Text: Appellant concedes that no request was made of the trial court for a cautionary instruction as to the testimony of defendant's accomplice, Kapitzke, but argues it was error not to have given such an instruction. This court has consistently held that it would consider the failure to timely object to jury instructions. as a waiver of any alleged defects in those instructions. Kimmons v. State (1971), 51 Wis. 2d 266, 268, 186 N. W. 2d 308; Mitchell v. State (1970), 47 Wis. 2d 695, 699, 700, 177 N. W. 2d 833. Therefore, since the defendant neither submitted requested instructions, nor objected to those given or requested additional instructions, we conclude that the defendant has waived his right to object to the instructions as given.
