Description
The appellant was charged by grand jury indictment with robbery. After a jury trial, he was convicted, and sentenced to the Indiana State Prison for a period of not less than 10 nor more than 25 years. He filed a motion for new trial alleging substantially that the verdict was not sustained by sufficient evidence and was contrary to law. The overruling of this motion for new trial is the only error relied upon for reversal. Taking the evidence most favorable to the state, the testimony reveals that on January 23, 1964, witness Iona Marie Simms was in charge of the Imperial Liquor Store, at 2102 North Senate. Shortly after 11:00 p.m., she was talking on the phone when a man came into the store. He went through the gate which separated the customer area from the area behind the counter, came to where the witness was sitting and told her that it was a stick-up. He pulled out a gun, snatched the phone out of her hand and hung it up, and hit her on the right side. He then held the gun at her head, took her to the cash register, and took the money from the cash register. He asked for a bottle of rye, and picked up a fifth of Four Roses. He asked if she had a pocketbook and she answered that she did not. He then told her that she was going with him, but after she stated that she would not, he left the store. The store was well lighted, and she had ample opportunity to see the robber and hear his voice.
