HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK FROM
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
COUNTY.
DR. ItDBNETT APPEALS
Appeal from the verdict of a su-
perior court jury ordering him to
serve thirty days in jail and pay a
fine of $100 for an alleged assault on
Dr. J. EL Jimmerson last fall, was
filed Monday in the criminal court of
appeals by Dr. E. V. Robnett, state
veterinarian. Fundamental errors
in the trial of the case are set forth
grounds for a reversal of the judg-
ment. Robnett also claims the ver-
dict is unjust, and was not warranted
by the evidence.
Robnett was convicted on a grand
jury indictment charging him with
striking Jimmerson, formerly in the
state veterinarian’s office, on the
head with a clubbed revolver,
and Jimmerson quarreled at
Lee-EIuckins hotel.
