Description
The defendant was convicted of first degree murder and the jury assessed the death penalty. His motion for new trial was overruled
and he has appealed. There is no contention that the conviction is not supported by the evidence. The nature of the questions
presented are such that an extended statement of the facts is not required. On September 2, 1962, the body of William Rue Bryant was found near the Black River about a mile and a half south of Poplar
Bluff. There were seven stab wounds in Mr. Bryant's chest and upper abdomen, several of which penetrated vital organs and
caused his death. Mr. Bryant's billfold with no money in it was found near the body. His automobile was found on a salvage
lot near Campbell, Missouri. There were blood stains on its front seat.
