The evidence on the part of the state that defendant, along with the co-defendant, Jimmy Buford Edgman and another man not identified and not known by the prosecuting witness, came to the home, which was a trailer house, of Norma Jean Hinchey during the afternoon of the 28th day of July, 1955, around 2 or 3 oclock, where they purchased some gin and left the premises. Norma Jean Hinchey testified that about 9 oclock p.m. the same day and after dark, while her husband was up town, defendant Roulston returned to her trailer house with two other men, one whom she only knew as a Mr. Brown and lived in Davis and the other one she did not know. The witness was vague as to whether the men came together or just happened at the same time. Mr. Brown purchased a pint of whisky and the two men left while defendant Roulston stayed. The witness stated "he wanted a half-pint of whisky and when I went to get it and when I did he pulled a gun out of his shirt and told me to give him the money."
