Description
W. H. Warlick and his wife were seated at different places in their rural store on the night in question when appellant entered and approached Mrs. Warlick at the cash register with a .45 caliber pistol in his hand, told her it was a holdup and that he wanted the money. When Mr. Warlick called out to their son Lewis, another man entered the store, armed with a smaller caliber pistol, and said, "Be quiet before I blow you half in two." Appellant repeated the warning. Appellant and his companion marched the Warlicks to the back of the store, where they were required to lie on the floor and their hands and legs were taped up to prevent movement. On the way to the rear of the store, Warlick observed appellant open the cash register and take out the money. While they were lying on the floor, the Warlicks heard the noise of glass rattling, coming from where they displayed pocket knives and Admiral watches. When they liberated themselves, they found their cash register empty, approximately twenty dollars was missing from a cigar box which they kept under the counter, and that all their Admiral watches and pocket knives were gone. The police at Kilgore were notified. Earlier in the day, Warlick had observed appellant in an old model large, dark green automobile. The Warlicks picked appellant and his companion out of a police lineup the following day.
