Description
Appellant was charged with entering to commit a felony. He was found guilty and sentenced accordingly. The only contention made is that the finding of the court was not sustained by sufficient evidence. The evidence most favorable to the State is as follows: About 9:30 p.m. on August 22, 1965, a State's witness testified that he lived about 150 feet from the Ferraros' Shoe Shop. He heard a noise in the alley alongside his house. He stepped outdoors, which was about 6 feet from the alley. He stood and looked around and heard a crash. He says it sounded like ""a cash register dropping."" He then made a step around the corner and looked down the alley and saw a cash register about 12 feet away and saw the appellant walking in the opposite direction about 3 feet from the cash register. The appellant was not running. The witness stated he saw no one else around. He saw the appellant walking away and later come back by the spot where the witness was standing. He stated that he did not know the appellant's name but had recognized him as a person living in the neighborhood. The witness called the police. When the police came they went into the shoe shop and the witness stated: ""You could see where a cash register had come from.""
