Description
Defendant was convicted of the crime of robbery in the first degree committed on the 18th day of February, 1929, in robbing a grocery store in the city of Minneapolis. The defendant was a convict out on parole at the time the robbery was committed. About two months after the robbery the defendant was returned to the state penitentiary for violation of his parole. He finished the sentence that he was then serving, and one year after the robbery was committed he was arrested and charged with the commission of the offense of which he was convicted in this proceeding. Upon the trial the proprietor of the grocery store and two young boys who were customers at the time that the robbery was committed were the principal witnesses against the defendant. They testified that he was one of the two men who robbed the store. Defendant denied that he took part in the robbery and attempted to show that he was at home with his foster father at the time the robbery was committed. Neither he nor his father could say definitely where he was at the hour of the robbery, but asserted that it was his usual custom to be at home at that time. The robbery took place at about 6:45 p.m. and the defendants foster father testified that defendant always came home for supper. The evidence raised a definite question for the jury as to the identity of the defendant as one of the persons who took part in the robbery.
