PAUL BENNETT.\n(Filed 11 October, 1967.)\nAppeal by defendant from Bailey, J., May 15, 1967 Schedule \u201cB\u201d Session, MecKlenbueg Superior Court.\nThe defendant, Paul Bennett, was indicted, tried and convicted of common law robbery in that he unlawfully, wilfully and felon-iously made an assault on one J. C. Truesdale, and by putting him in fear, did feloniously take from his person the sum of $25. The offense occurred late at night. The victim complained immediately to the police, who arrested the defendant after the victim identified him. The investigating officer corroborated Truesdale with respect to the victim\u2019s immediate complaint, and gave substantive evidence with respect to the victim\u2019s bloody face.\nThe defendant testified as a witness in his own defense. He admitted he and Truesdale had been out drinking together. He admitted that he assaulted the prosecuting witness, but claimed he did so because of improper remarks made to defendant\u2019s girlfriend. The girlfriend corroborated the defendant\u2019s story. From a verdict of guilty, and judgment thereon, the defendant appealed.\nT. W. Bruton, Attorney General; Harry W. McGalliard, Deputy Attorney General, for the State.\nCharles B. Merry man, Jr., for defendant appellant.-"
