Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Appellant was charged by information with attempted first
degree robbery and assault with intent to kill. A jury convicted
him of the attempted robbery charged in the first count, and
under the second convicted him of the lesser included offense of
endangering the life of another in violation of former K.S.A.
21-435. On appeal he alleges the trial court erred in refusing to
permit his alibi witnesses to testify and in giving certain
instructions. The victims of the crimes involved were Mr. and Mrs. John
Jacobs, who together operated a small appliance repair shop in
the Argentine district of Kansas City. At about 3:30 p.m. on
Monday, December 30, 1968, Mrs. Jacobs was tending the store
while her husband was in the basement shop area working. A
stranger came in who responded to Mrs. Jacobs' greeting by
opening his coat and motioning toward a gun in his belt. He then
motioned toward the cash register and told her not to be nervous.
Taking him at his word Mrs. Jacobs promptly fled around a
partition and out the back door, calling to her husband as she
went, "John, a holdup."
