Description
Gilberto Gandar, called as at witness by the state, testified that on the night of the homicide he first saw the appellant in Vicentes place in the city of Sonora. While he was in the place appellant came in and pulled a six-shooter. Around 10:30 P.M., at appellants suggestion, the two went to another place where appellant gave him the pistol but returned in about three minutes and got it from him. Appellant then went outside and had some trouble with four boys from El Dorado and engaged in a fight with one of them during which time a pistol shot was heard. At appellants request the witness then helped appellant put the boy in a Ford convertible automobile that he was driving and then drove out on the old El Dorado road where appellant put the boy out of the car. Appellant then asked the witness to take him to El Dorado which he agreed to do. As they were driving to El Dorado and were about five miles out of Sonora appellant told him that he "was coming down to find Richard to kill him" and "that Richard had been up there looking for him"; that when they got to El Dorado and had driven through the main part of town appellant told him to stop at a house where he saw a light as he was going to ask where a certain party lived; that he stopped the car and appellant got out, went to the house, returned to the car and told him to back up; that he backed the car up in front of another house and appellant got out and went to the door; that he then heard a shot and looked to see a man lying down inside the door; that appellant returned to the car and said, "Lets go pretty quick, I have already killed him"; that they then drove out on the highway towards Sonora and about six miles out of town at appellants request he stopped the car and appellant got out and hid the pistol. Gandar testified that later in company with the sheriff he went to the place and found the pistol which appellant hid and had used on the night of the homicide.
