Description

1 This is an appeal by James Spence from a second conviction for the murder of Ruth Zimmerman, committed in Comanche County, Oklahoma on March 31, 1958. The case was originally brought by information against Spence and Eddie Oxendine as accomplices on which a trial was held in the District Court of Comanche County, Oklahoma. A conviction was obtained affixing the death penalty. From that conviction an appeal was taken in which we reversed and remanded the case for a new trial. Oxendine and Spence v. State, Okl.Cr., 335 P.2d 940. Thereafter the defendants applied for a severance which was granted. Spence sought a change of venue, which was granted and the case was remanded for trial, as to him, to Cotton County, Oklahoma. Spence was again tried in the District Court of that county and convicted, with the imposition of the death sentence. From that conviction, judgment and sentence, this appeal has been perfected.
