Description
James Rutledge and Elbert Blair were charged with Robbery, IC 1971, 35-13-4-6, Ind. Ann. Stat. § 10-4101 (Burns 1956), and tried before the court sitting without a jury. They were convicted of Assault and Battery with Intent to Commit a Felony, to-wit: Robbery, IC 1971, 35-1-54-3, Ind. Ann. Stat. § 10-401 (Burns Supp. 1974), and sentenced to terms of one to ten years. Rutledge and Blair appeal the overruling of their timely filed motion to correct errors. The facts most favorable to the State reveal that at about 3:00 P.M. on February 20, 1973, appellants broke into the apartment of Henry Carlisle at 704 East Georgia Street, Indianapolis. Carlisle, the sole occupant of the apartment at the time, had been resting on a couch in the front room when the door was broken in and appellants entered. One of the intruders held a knife at Carlisle's ribs and a tightly knotted loop of electric cord around the victim's neck while his companion ransacked the apartment. A penknife and a watch, among other things, were taken from Carlisle's dresser and these items were found on appellant Rutledge's person when the pair were arrested.
