Description
Appellant, charged by information in the Circuit Court of Greene County, March 9, 1965, with a felony of carrying a concealed weapon in violation of Section 564.610, V.A.M.S., was convicted by a jury which assessed his punishment at two-years' imprisonment in the penitentiary, and sentence and judgment were rendered accordingly. On January 30, 1965, Edward Wade Earls owned and operated a trailer court and ""coin-o-matic"" laundry at 1545 North Barnes, Springfield, Greene County, Missouri. He lived at 2155 East Division in Springfield; it was ""somewhere around 300 foot, 350, something like that from my house to the laundry."" Inside the laundry were ""eight washers, two driers, a coin changer, cigarette machine and a pop machine."" The coin changer was on the back or south wall of the laundry. Mr. Earls had a 2-way radio listening device between his house and the laundry and between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. he heard a noise over the device coming from the laundry. In response to the noise, ""I told my wife to call the police and I took a gun and went to the laundry, went immediately to the laundry."" It took him about two minutes to reach the laundry. ""I saw this fella here (indicating defendant) in my changer with money in his hand, and he was at my changer at the wall. * * * I held my gun (a .22 revolver) on him when I went in the door. I had the gun in my hand and I told him to turn around and lay his money down and stand still. And he said, 'Well,' he said, 'You've caught me red handed.' He said 'I've got money that I'll give you to let me go before the police get here.' And he started to put his hand in his back pocket and I told him to stand still till they got there, and he did. And when the police officer arrived, he was askin' me what was goin' on and I was telling him, and I told him I thought the man was armed. And he searched him, I asked him to search him, and he checked in his right pocket, back - ."" He saw the officer take a pistol from defendant's back pocket.
