Description
MORRIS, Commissioner. Turley was charged with carrying concealed a deadly weapon, an offense denounced by Sec. 435.230, KRS. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, fixing punishment at confinement in the Reformatory for two years. On appeal it is contended that the court erroneously failed to give a tendered instruction presenting his defense. A witness testified that she saw Turley on the highway and he went down in his clothes 'and came out with a pistol. I don't know where he got it. His jacket was open. He went inside and came out with it.' Another witness present on the occasion saw the pistol in appellant's hand. Another saw appellant 'turn from me and fumble about himself and come out with the pistol.' Another witness testified to substantially the same. It appears that all of them were relatives or close friends of the person or persons who were engaged in the sharp and unpleasant quarrel with appellant's relatives.
