Description
1 Edward English, who shall hereinafter be referred to as the defendant, was charged in Pottowatomie County with
the crime of Burglary in the Second Degree. He was tried before a jury, found guilty, and sentenced to serve not less than
two, nor more than six years in the penitentiary, and from that judgment and sentence the defendant appeals. Though several
assignments of error are presented in defendant's brief, we will only concern ourselves with the one contention of error and
that is that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of other offenses. This is a question that has long plagued this
Court and has been the subject of many decisions. 2 A review of the record in the instant case reveals the following facts out of which the case arose. The defendant
was charged with Burglary Second Degree. The information alleged that while acting in concert with one Don Curtis and David
Sutterfield, did break and enter a building on Highway 177, at Pearson, Oklahoma; owned by and in possession of Bruce Jones,
doing business as a bar in which building personal property of value was kept and contained, by breaking the west window of
said building and entering without the consent of said owner, with the wilful and felonious intent to steal said property.
