Description
The offense is assault with intent to murder with malice; the punishment, ten (10) years. Appellant's first ground of error is that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the verdict. The record reflects that on the night in question the injured party, Ozell Abels, appellant's wife, was seated in a private club in Abilene with a Kenneth Ballard. Appellant entered, accompanied by one Geraldine Gallaher, approached the injured party and stated, I am going to cut your head off. Appellant then cut his wife across the throat with what he described as a pocket knife and chased her across the room, stabbing her a total of 15 times. Her injuries consisted of a ruptured kidney and an injured spleen which were surgically removed, and a punctured lung, stomach and intestines. Dr. Ferris, who treated the injured party, testified that the wounds were serious and the injured party would have died if she had not received prompt medical attention. The knife was not introduced in evidence. In addition to assault to murder with malice, the court charged on assault to murder without malice and aggravated assault.
