Ledbetter v. State, 61 Miss. 22 (Mich. 1883).
Opinion
delivered the opinion of the court.
The delaration made by the accused to the witness, Mary Nicholson, that if she had killed one woman she would kill another, was of an equivocal character. It was error for the court to assume, as was done in the ninth instruction for the State, that this was an “admission or confession” of the accused. Hogan v. State, 46 Miss. 274.
