Description
LAWSON, Justice. James Seldon Lee was indicted for the offense of murder in the first degree by a grand jury of Etowah County
and upon his trial upon said indictment was convicted of murder in the first degree and his punishment was fixed by the jury
at death by electrocution. Judgment and sentence were in accord with the jury's verdict. A motion for new trial filed by counsel
for Lee was overruled. The appeal comes to this court under the provisions of Act No. 249, approved June 24, 1943, General Acts 1943, p. 217, which
act provides for an automatic appeal in all cases in which the death sentence is imposed. See 1955 Cum. Pocket Part, Vol.
