Description
The offense is burglary with two prior convictions alleged for enhancement; the punishment, life. On the night in question the witness Arwine returned to his drugstore after closing hours. Upon hearing strange noises like someone trying to break in, he left and called the police from another location. Five or ten minutes later, several officers arrived on the scene. One of the officers went to the rear of the store where he ascertained that the rear door was locked and secured. While doing so, he heard people talking in the store and heard coins dropping on the floor. Another officer stationed himself on the roof of the drugstore and he too heard voices ""like someone counting money"" and the sounds of coins dropping. Arwine opened the front door and two officers entered the drugstore and saw that the knob had been knocked off the safe. Further investigation revealed a fresh hole in the drugstore wall common to the department store adjoining it. The officers proceeded through the hole and in the adjoining store apprehended the appellant and a companion who were hiding in a dressing room. The officers testified that the doors of the drugstore were locked and secured, that the department store's rear door had been pried open, that no one left either the drugstore or the department store from the time the police arrived until the appellant was apprehended, that coins and burglary tools were found on the floor of the drugstore, and that appellant had a screw driver in his pocket.
